The Health Education Program ultimately seeks to equip professionals to improve the quality of life of persons and communities by preparing students to identify the role of biological, behavioral, environmental and social forces on population health. Students will have the opportunity to improve the health of individuals and communities through the planning, implementation and evaluation of health interventions and will be taught to become an informed health professional capable of making the world healthier and more humane. Students also receive a specialized education through coursework designed to help them develop as a professional, expand their knowledge and skills related to public health education, and prepare them for professional public health practice

The curricula offers opportunities to obtain professional preparation and certification for careers in the public health sector, allied health and medical related professions (e.g., medicine, occupational therapy, nursing, physical therapy or physician's assistant), and a broad and diverse range of other local, state, national and international organizations including government and private health agencies, clinical settings, nonprofit organizations, schools and universities, volunteer agencies and other community organizations in careers that promote and improve health.
