Message from the Dean

Welcome and thank you for visiting the Lansing Community College's Health & Human Services (HHS) Division webpage!

If you are inspired to help others, then we have programs to fit your interests. These include child development, dental hygiene, emergency medical services, fitness/wellness, medical assistant, medical imaging, nursing, and surgical technology, along with many other health and human service careers.

Some key points of interest:

• Student success is our priority. We define student success as mastering the skills, attitudes, and behaviors that prepare students to excel as entry-level professionals in their chosen careers and areas of study.
• Programs are designed to minimize time and cost to completion, and allow students to expand their workplace opportunities through stacked and latticed credentials.
• HHS faculty members have extensive education and work experience in the fields they teach.
• Well-equipped labs and classrooms provide a state-of-the art environment for student learning.
• Programs uphold the high standards required by agencies of regional and specialized accreditation, national certification, and Michigan state licensure.
• Our programs are developed in collaboration with area employers, based on labor market needs. These include work-based learning opportunities and apprenticeships.

I invite you to visit our advising guides on the HHS website if you want more information. Enrolling in one of our programs will provide you with an exciting and rewarding career while helping others to live their best lives!
