The B.S. program in health education and wellness is designed for health care providers who already have an associate degree in a health or human services-related field and wish to prepare for a managerial, educational, or health promotion and wellness role in a community setting. The program provides background in the prevention of disease and promotion of healthful lifestyles. Coursework and field studies prepare students to plan, implement, and evaluate health programs in a variety of settings.
Applicant transcripts are evaluated on an individual basis to determine the number of hours and courses required to meet University and program requirements and prerequisites for degree coursework. The structure of the program varies depending on the associate degree credits that can be applied to these requirements.
