Learning by doing is the keystone of the Community Health Education program.  Classroom based research, on-campus work opportunities, and service learning projects are led by faculty with a broad range of specialties including nutrition, stress management, human sexuality, environmental health, disease prevention and health promotion.  The rich variety of core and program requirements is supplemented by elective courses selected, with faculty advice, to reflect the student's interests in the field of health education.  Extensive fieldwork, including a required practicum and internship, prepare the students for future employment.  Electives include course work in substance abuse, dance, recreation and exercise physiology.
