Going Beyond the Physical
The community health major and minor are taught from an interdisciplinary perspective, preparing you to act as an informed and engaged community member and leader. Courses emphasize prevention and management of injury and disease, emotional health and overall wellbeing, health promotion, skill-building, epidemiology, nutrition education, critical thinking, and theories of health behavior. Completion of the community health major establishes eligibility to sit for the Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) examination.
