Overview

Working alongside clinicians, health agency directors and community leaders, health education specialists are catalysts for improving health for individuals and communities. This Health Education and Health Promotion BSc program offered at Arizona State University provides professional preparation in population-based approaches to improve health outcomes, including school and community health education. Students pursuing a bachelor's degree in health education and health promotion gain foundational knowledge in health promotion program planning, implementation, evaluation, health education and health advocacy. These skills can be applied to society's most pressing health challenges, including improving the food and built environments to promote health, providing sexual health education, and preventing substance abuse, violence, injuries and infectious diseases.

Career Opportunities

Health education and health promotion professionals fill a critical role as they teach individuals how to stay well by living healthy lifestyles, and they help mobilize communities to create healthy environments through policy, advocacy and environmental change. Based on a random sample of community health job advertisements from 2017, health professionals with the CHES credential earn up to a 47% higher salary than health professionals without it. Health education specialists can also work as clinical educators.

The health education specialist pathway offers growth opportunities, as certified specialists are eligible to become master certified health education specialists after five years of practice, and MCHES are eligible to become certified diabetes educators.
