B.S. MAJOR - HEALTH PROMOTION A student majoring in health promotion may choose from two options: School Health or Community Health. Each option leads to a Bachelor of Science degree and can be completed in four years, if the student begins the program during the freshman year. Students completing these degrees will be able to meet the Competencies of Entry-Level Health Educators and be prepared to pass the exam for Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) certification. Upon completion of the Health Promotion-School Health option, the student will have the skills and experience to obtain a Minnesota teaching licensure. Students are required to pass the Minnesota PRAXIS test for teaching licensure. Students who complete this degree and pass the PRAXIS test are qualified to teach in the Minnesota public school system grades 5-12. The Health Promotion - Community Health option gives students a thorough grounding in the theory and skills involved in the promotion of community health and public health. The degree is designed to provide students with the experience and background they need to be eligible for entry-level jobs as health educators and health promoters in governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations including hospitals, businesses and other health-related organizations such as, the American Red Cross, American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, and the American Diabetic Society. The degree may also be used as a foundation for post-graduate study and is particularly useful for Masters Degree programs in public health, health promotion, or health education. The HERS Department encourages its health promotion majors to become members of its academic clubs: Health Organization for Promotion and Education (HOPE) and Health Wellness Association (HWA).
