Why study Community Health?
The Community Health program is a behaviorally-based program in
which students learn to design, implement, and evaluate programs and
activities that improve the health of all people. Majors in this program use
a wellness approach emphasizing the physical, intellectual, emotional,
social, spiritual, and environmental aspects of health.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of this program typically work in public health and nonprofit
agencies such as:
•
Spokane Regional Health District
•
Community Health Education and Resources
•
American Cancer Society
•
American Heart Association
•
American Lung Association
Students are also prepared to work in worksite wellness programs at
community colleges, universities, private industry, and government
agencies. The program prepares students to sit for the National
Commission for Health Education Credentialing (Certified Health
Education Specialist) exam and for graduate school programs in public
health, health promotion, and community health education.
Public Health or Worksite Wellness
This major offers two tracks – Public Health or Worksite Wellness – and
students choose one to match the kind of environment in which they
would like to work.
