William Paterson University-BS-Public Health Education

The Bachelor of Science in Public Health Education prepares entry-level health educators who are able to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate a broad range of health promotion and disease prevention programs designed for a community’s diverse population. Knowledge of health education is achieved through a multi-disciplinary study of physical and natural sciences, education, psychology, and public health.
Practice-based skills are integral components of this carefully designed program. Students become oriented to the profession of health education through the completion of a 12-credit full-time internship during their final semester, at which time they also take the national certification examination to become a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES).
