Online Health Education Degree
Online Degrees in Health Promotion and Health Education
Online degrees and certificates in health promotion, health education, work site wellness, health risk management and disease prevention from accredited institutions.
Health education and health promotion professionals are called upon to assess health problems, identify health needs and risk factors, plan and implement health promotion programs, and carry out evaluation procedures to determine the effectiveness of these efforts. They are employed in a variety of work settings such as schools, community health agencies, medical care organizations, and business and industry, as well as private practice. An health promotion/education specialist aims to improve public health by increasing the knowledge and understanding of health issues such as diet, exercise and hygiene. They provide advice and information to individuals or community groups, through the use of presentations, exhibitions and the media.
Online degrees in Health Promotion and Health Education are available at the associate, bachelor, master's, and doctoral level. Associate degrees include a basic science curriculum and coursework in human health, fitness, sex and drug education, nutrition, and more. Specialized coursework can include health communication, exercise physiology, or business administration. Graduate degrees in Health Education focus on teaching and research skills.
Opportunities in the field of Health Promotion and Education are strong, with median salaries in the $50,000 range. Education programs cannot guarantee job or salary prospects, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts faster than average growth across the health education professions.
