School and College Health Programs (M.S.)

The Master of Science degree in School and College Health Programs gives students the opportunity to acquire knowledge and develop skills in the following areas:

principles of health education
models and theories of health behavior
planning, implementation, and evaluation of school health programs
methods of research

Students who already have teacher certification in another field may develop health education competencies that can qualify them for secondary school health education certification.

Other career possibilities include working in agencies that address health education for school-age children and health education positions in university health centers.

In addition to nationally recognized faculty members, the program features courses that stay abreast of current trends and initiatives in school and college health promotion. Graduate students also have opportunities to interact with professionals working in agencies and public schools.

Faculty members often involve graduate students in research projects, helping them to gain experience with statistical, data-gathering, and analysis procedures. Such close collaboration produces mentoring relationships that last long after graduation.
