Health Concentration: Career Options
The Departmental Health concentration is designed to provide the student with various academic and career options within the health field. Indeed, it's the wide range of professional options within the industry that makes a Health and Nutrition Sciences degree a viable academic choice. Successful completion of the BS/BA degree program could lead to:1. An entry-level administrative or health educator position within the public or corporate sector of the health industry
2. More specialized training within one of the many professional areas within the field (e.g., as a Physician, Nurse, Physical Therapist, Public Health Advisor).
In the Health Concentration, the student is provided with a conceptual foundation and factual knowledge necessary to understand, interpret and implement current information concerning health promotion. This academic option allows the students to expand their understanding of the health care system, its historical development, administrative functioning, and philosophical bases, as well as providing information regarding the most topical health issues and concerns. The goal of the Health Concentration curriculum is to develop health professionals who have been trained to promote health by helping consumers to minimize risk factors associated with illness and disease and enhance status.
