在这里学什么？

Helping people become healthier individuals—that’s what you can expect from a career as a community health educator. Ball State’s major in health education and promotion is excellent preparation for entry into this field.

As a student, you’ll learn how to teach people about behaviors that promote wellness and encourage them to make healthy decisions. You’ll also learn to promote the application of scientific health principles to human life, primarily through health education in community health agencies, health-care facilities, and worksites.

Graduates of the Health Education and Promotion Program are eligible to sit for the Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) exam. The CHES designation signifies an individual who has met required academic preparation qualification, has successfully passed a competency-based examination, and satisfies the continuing education requirement to maintain the national credential.
