Selection of the remaining 18 semester hours depend on the career goals and interests of the student. The student may either elect a combination of courses which leads to certification to teach health in secondary schools or health promotion coursework, which allows for development of interests in health focusing on community, school-linked worksite, and patient care settings. This coursework is anticipated to lead to eligibility to become a Certified Health Education Specialist.
