DHA Program Faculty
 
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.
