Public Health Promotion B.S.
|
|
The purpose of the Public Health Promotion degree is twofold. First, to prepare exceptional public health promotion students that can: 1.) serve in a variety of health settings of practice, including but not limited to schools, worksites, communities, 2.) work with individuals or groups, and 3.) work in the health care system. The second is to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent diseases within a given population.
The Public Health Promotion degree program provides students with an understanding of a wide range of health topics including public health principles; community health issues; risk factors and disease prevention; behavior-change theory and application; and health program assessment, design, implementation, and evaluation. The Public Health Promotion program educates students to utilize an ecological framework to approach the determinants of health.
Students may wish to begin their career, continue their education, and/or take the national exam for the certified health education specialist (CHES) after graduating from the Public Health Promotion program. No matter the goal, students will be prepared to address emerging individual and public health challenges.
