Health Education

• EdM Licensure Track (Grades K–12) and Non-Licensure Track
• CAGS Licensure Track and Non-Licensure Track

The central focus of the health program is the preparation of health educators for schools, community health centers, and corporate settings. The program stresses independent student work and innovative strategies of broad-spectrum intervention to benefit the individual and contribute to the well-being of society.

The Health Education Program offers two study sequences. First, the school health education sequence prepares students to teach health education at both the elementary and secondary school level. This sequence is a state-approved licensure program. Second, the community health education sequence addresses the broad range of services offered to communities through health agencies, hospitals, rehabilitation organizations, neighborhood centers, and community action programs. This non-licensure sequence provides students with an academic background in nutrition, wellness, substance abuse, and exercise.
