Introduction
The Health Promotion and Wellness program prepares students to assume roles as wellness and health promotion professionals in private businesses, community organizations, and healthcare agencies. The innovative curriculum focuses on strategies to promote healthy behaviors and lifestyles with an emphasis on living well. Foundation courses such as anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and human development serve as building blocks for courses in the major where students plan, implement, and evaluate programs to promote healthy behaviors and wellness. This program includes a two-semester internship coordinated by our Experiential Learning program with an off-campus industry leader.
The momentum to promote wellness over the traditional disease model of care is growing at a rapid rate. The US Department of Labor Statistics projects job growth of around 16 percent from 2016 to 2026 for positions focusing on promoting health and wellness for individuals and communities. Organizations recognize that there is a tremendous return on investment when their employee or members get healthy and stay healthy.
