Health Education and Promotion

Health promotion works to help people and communities modify behaviors, attitudes, and values by introducing health-enhancing activities and a support system to assist with behavior change.

Health promotion is concerned with enabling the development of life-skills, self-concept, and social skills and environmental intervention through a broad range of political, legislative, fiscal and administrative means. Supportive environments will  have the greatest impact in producing lasting positive health behavior change.

The Health Education and Promotion degree is designed to prepare students for the Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) examination through the experiential development of professional skills and competencies.
