IHS was first launched in the Fall of 2017. As the holistic perspective of health continued to evolve, the training of health professions needed to evolve as well. The major was created to address these needs, specifically the need for well-educated graduates to enter health-related careers. IHS was created to better prepare for a well-trained workforce to address health issues from a comprehensive and multidisciplinary perspective in the 21st century.
During its inaugural year (Fall 2017-Spring 2018), approximately 40 students declared the major. The number of declared majors has grown quickly, to currently over 650 declared majors.
