Ashland faculty from the Health Professions pathway on what four years in these programs does to the way you think, work and care for others.
STUDENT IMPACT
-
“I’ve had a great experience in the nursing program so far. Even though I am a commuter and a mom with a small child, my academic advisor has really stepped in to make sure that I’m on track, I have what I need, and am staying connected to other students on campus.”
Mara Collins, Alum
-
“I chose Ashland because of the nursing program. The professors are incredibly accommodating, and I feel like I can go to them with any concerns or issues I might have.”
Trevor Fox, Alum
-
“Professor Reed is my academic advisor for my dietetics major. She does a great job of pushing me to take what I’m learning and apply it to the real world. I transferred here last semester because at my former school I wouldn’t have gotten into the dietetics classes until my junior year.”
McKenna Peters, Alum
-
“I love how small the classes are, as well as the personal relationships I’ve already begun building with my professors. I’m interested in the medical field, in becoming a doctor, and learning from teachers who legitimately care about you is a great way to prepare for caring for others in the future.”
Madison Stacey, Alum
