Overview

That advocacy can take many different forms. You might help develop public policy aimed at providing community health services; you might launch a public awareness campaign around disease prevention; you might serve as a health and wellness educator in a community health setting.

Public health issues like chronic disease, drug and alcohol abuse, and gun violence may affect some communities more than others, but that can change. It just takes people with the drive, and the skills, to make change happen.

Key Features

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that some jobs for Community Health majors could increase by two times the average for all occupations. Community health workers and health education specialists, for example, could grow by up to 12% in the coming years. Many of them will be right here in New York metro area.

At the School of Allied Health Professions, you can earn your degree in the place where it all happens. You won’t just learn the skills you’ll need to thrive as a community health professional; with supervised internships, you’ll have access to opportunities you won’t find anywhere else.

Careers

Community health professionals work in a variety of settings, including federal, state, and local government health agencies; non-governmental organizations (NGOs); and schools, colleges, and universities. A BS in Community Health and Wellness from Monroe University will also prepare you to work in private health organizations and voluntary health agencies (VHAs) including:

Community health clinics

Fitness and wellness facilities

Pharmaceutical companies

Careers in community health include:

Community Health and Wellness majors can take their careers even further with public health graduate programs (like the Master of Public Health from our King Graduate School).
