A Message from the Director

Sean Collins, PT Sc.D.
Director, School of Health

The School of Health brings together programs focused on people, movement, learning, and well-being across a wide range of professional fields. Students prepare for careers in clinical practice, education, human performance, health sciences, and outdoor and experiential leadership. Programs emphasize understanding how individuals and communities grow and thrive, and how thoughtful professionals support that work in real settings.

Students in the School of Health are curious about people and systems and are motivated to help others. Many are drawn to hands on learning, teaching, leadership, service, and performance-based environments. Students are both supported and challenged through close faculty mentoring, applied learning, and opportunities to use their knowledge beyond the classroom. Growth here comes through engagement, reflection, and responsibility.

Faculty are deeply committed to student learning and bring strong disciplinary expertise together with a focus on teaching and mentoring. They work closely with students to connect ideas across programs and to prepare them for what comes next.

I am proud to lead a School of Health that values rigor, collaboration, and purposeful education, and that helps students build futures they care about.

    Quinn is living her dream, working in a profession she loves in a location she never imagined she would be. She was the first student accepted into the inaugural cohort of the University’s DPT program, and she took pride in being the only recent Plymouth State graduate among a group that included students from across the country.

  • Nick Simeti
    Simeti encourages students who aren’t sure where to focus their studies to consider public health. “It’s done wonders for me and it’s worth it,” he says. “I learned a lot of useful skills and a lot about the world, including health behavior change, and about Medicare, Medicaid, and other healthcare systems. That’s real life.”
