Student Experiences

The College of Health and Human Sciences at NIU recognizes that student experiences are essential: that’s why we are committed to engaged learning. Your studies will take you out of the classroom and put you in labs, restaurants, offices, elementary schools, clinics, hospitals and so much more.

You can also choose to be a part of many other opportunities such as student research, student organizations and study abroad.
