NEC member Johnson & Wales University (JWU) recently announced the establishment of the College of Health & Wellness.

Located at the university’s Providence, Rhode Island, campus, the college will offer a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Science as well as a Master of Science degree in Physician Assistant Studies.
