The Public Health major prepares students for work as Public Health Educators. Graduates are prepared to identify health risks facing a diverse set of communities, develop and evaluate programs and other strategies to promote health and prevent disease, advocate for health-related policy, and serve as a source of accurate information for communities about health issues. Graduates are prepared for careers in areas included but not limited to substance abuse prevention, nutrition and physical activity promotion, violence prevention, sexual health education, and are employed in local/state/national public health agencies or local/state non-profits. Completion of the Bachelor of Science in Public Health makes students eligible to sit for the Certified Health Education Specialist Exam (CHES) exam, a certification nationally recognized by employers as a gold standard in public health practice.
