Boone - Appalachian State University's board of trustees today approved the establishment of a College of Health Sciences and Allied Professions.

The board's proposal will be submitted to the UNC Board of Governors in October for final approval. A search for a founding dean for the college would begin soon after, with a goal of filling the job by fall 2009.

The new administrative unit would house ASU's Department of Health, Leisure and Exercise Science; the Department of Nursing; and the foods and nutrition degree programs, which are all currently housed in the College of Fine and Applied Arts.

Also moving to the new college would be the Department of Social Work currently housed in the College of Arts and Sciences and the health management degree program housed in the Walker College of Business. The communication disorders degree programs currently based in the Reich College of Education may also become part of the new structure.

ASU received $4.2 million in the recent legislative budget to plan for a building to house the new college. University officials hope to have the college's physical space ready by 2012.
