CMU has specifically developed a faculty group to directly support the
DHA program. This program infrastructure ensures the responsiveness,
advisement, and program oversight necessary to promote student success in a
rigorous application-based doctoral program. All DHA faculty are members of
the graduate faculty at Central Michigan University; this includes both core
CMU faculty and visiting faculty from other institutions.
In addition, a program director, a professor in the College of Health
Professions, will be responsible for the overall academic coordination of
the program, communication with faculty, and serve as a liaison between the
cohort and the university.
