Welcome to the B.S. program in Health Promotion! Health promotion is an emerging discipline that responds to the increasing health concerns of Americans such as increasing regular physical activity, improving nutritional choices, and managing daily stress. This program has a 10-year history with graduates working in a variety of settings, such as government, hospital, and corporations; further more than half of the graduates have gone on for advanced degrees primarily in the allied health field.

Are you interested in:

• Instituting innovative community-outreach programs?
• Helping clients achieve fitness or nutrition goals?
• Advocating for health policy issues and promoting wellness in communities?
• Developing effective media campaigns for emerging health issues?

As an undergraduate student, we welcome you to phone, email, or request a personal interview to learn more about our program.
