Health promotion plays an important role in our lives. It empowers people and communities to manage their health. Health promotion improves the quality of life by supporting healthy environments, promoting healthy lifestyles, and protecting resources that support community health. Professionals assess the health needs of communities and individuals. They develop programs that help people take better care of themselves. Thanks to their efforts, people form healthy behaviors that give them a long, quality life. Public health professionals also take an active role in policy. They often write grants and work with lawmakers to ensure people live in healthy environments. You can find public health professionals in almost any setting. Hospitals, schools, corporations, and nonprofit agencies all take active roles in community health promotion. Our program is focused on active learning. You'll work with community partners to help them solve their challenges. We also offer an internship experience where you spend time in a professional setting. Your work as an intern will mirror the work you'll do after graduation. It's a great way to put what you've learned into practice.
