2-Term Standard Pathway - International Year One - Transfer to Bachelor of Science - Public Health

The Bachelor of Science in Health Education is designed to facilitate voluntary changes in individual health behaviors as well as to advocate for social and economic policies which lead to health promotion and disease prevention for all. This program prepares individuals to work as public health professionals at individual, community and structural levels for health equity and social justice. The program provides a participatory learning environment that integrates theory, research, and practice, honors diversity through a cultural humility lens, and fosters collaboration, critical thinking and communication skills.

The coursework and field experience in health education have three primary objectives:

1. To provide a theoretical and philosophical foundation in principles of community health education;

2. To facilitate the development of professional skills in program planning, implementation, and evaluation; and

3. To offer broad coursework in personal, community, and school health. Students are also expected to complete coursework in biological, social, and behavioral sciences.
