Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Education degree may select health sciences as a field of specialization. The health sciences program currently offers students the option of pursuing a program in community health education or school health education. Students who desire teacher certification must pursue the school health education option and complete the M.A.T. in secondary education. Additionally, students pursuing teacher certification must meet teacher certification requirements in a second teaching field to be chosen from general science, biological science, or physical science.
Students completing the community health education option will not receive a teaching certificate but will be prepared to pursue professional opportunities in community health education.
