The impact that students in CEHHS are making is not just social—it is generational.
Through student teaching and field placements in classrooms across metro Detroit, including at our own Early Childhood Education Center, our students become educators of future generations. Here, Dearborn Wolverines help prepare our youngest learners to thrive in inclusive and culturally diverse environments, develop in healthy ways, succeed in school, engage with the world around them with confidence and realize their full potential.
Studies have shown that high-quality childcare and early education can enhance children’s cognitive and social-emotional growth, leading to long-term societal benefits. Through the Department of Education, CEHHS students directly contribute to this in several ways, including engaging with children and examining the family and environmental influences on development. Equipped with the knowledge and skills they develop through this experience, students in the Department of Education graduate ready to change the lives of children, families and humanity.
The Health and Human Services Department within CEHHS is dedicated to reshaping the metro Detroit landscape by preparing regional students for influential roles in the health sciences. Our comprehensive program equips students for advanced graduate studies and immediate entry into various allied health professions and integrates cutting-edge faculty research. We are unwavering advocates for mental health, ensuring our curriculum and initiatives prominently address this critical area.
Our faculty, acclaimed nationally and internationally, spearheads groundbreaking research and consistently secures prestigious grant funding. By providing essential services to the local community, we ensure that our graduates—who live, work and study in the area—continue to make significant contributions to the well-being and progress of metro Detroit.
