UW Health and Wellness Management Bachelor’s Program Faculty

The online UW Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness Management faculty is one of its greatest strengths. You won’t find another health and wellness management program—online or otherwise—that brings such diverse expertise together in one place. That’s because the program is a partnership of UW Extended Campus and UW-La Crosse, UW-River Falls, UW-Stevens Point, and UW-Superior.

All courses in this online program are developed and taught by University of Wisconsin faculty—the same faculty who teach our on-campus courses.
