Community Health Promotion

Empowering individuals to attain and maintain wellness is at the core of community health promotion. It is a versatile career path that addresses today's ever-growing need for health awareness and education.

BW's program combines coursework in health behavior management, psychology and biology. You'll learn about nutrition, fitness, exercise, stress management, substance abuse and more.

Through your studies, you'll learn an integrative approach to wellness that focuses on whole-person care and disease prevention. Emphasis will be placed on program design and behavior modification as methods of educating and supporting clients.

A rewarding major, community health promotion provides the competencies to enable you to work in schools, public and private agencies, worksites, health departments and clinical settings.

A required internship bridges classroom learning with real-world experience. You'll gain valuable networking contacts and resume-enhancing experiences.
