Message from the President

Welcome to the 2020–2021 University Catalog and Handbook, which outlines the University’s admission requirements, academic policies, and educational programs.

The University’s greatest strength is its singular focus on health sciences education. Maintaining this focus throughout its history has enabled the University to build a culture dedicated to best practices in health care education, supporting wellness across the lifespan, advocating for professionalism in all health science disciplines, and advancing innovative practices.

The University’s success is due not only to its focus on health sciences education but also to its philosophy of students first and curricula reflective of the most current healthcare practices. The University is unwavering in its search for the most effective tools to educate healthcare professionals and its commitment to employing innovative strategies to meet the needs of its students and diverse patients. As we anticipate changes to the healthcare and education landscapes, the University continues to act judiciously to empower faculty and staff to identify future trends and immediately reflect these advances in our educational approach.

The University’s commitment to excellence in healthcare education for all qualified students began with its founding and is strengthened by its vision to be the leading graduate health sciences university in the country. The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences graduates outstanding healthcare professionals who are leaders in their communities and renowned in their disciplines. As we work together toward these achievements, the University welcomes all students, faculty, and staff to a successful 2020–2021 academic year.

Sincerely,

Vivian A. Sanchez

Vivian A. Sanchez
Chief Executive Officer and Interim President
