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.
