Overview

The Public Health - Promotion programme from William Paterson University is a professional preparation programme that prepares students with the knowledge of public health practice, principles and methods, and the skills necessary to utilize these to improve the health of the public. The programme prepares public health professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to function effectively in a public health setting and to attain the certified health education specialist (CHES) credential.

Key Facts

WP’s internationally recognized BS in public health promotion is fully accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH).

Students become oriented to the profession of health education through completion of a 9-credit full-time internship during their final semester, at which time they also take the national certification examination to become a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES). A BS in health studies is also available, which is ideal for those who have an associate’s degree in an allied health discipline and wish to complete their bachelor’s degree, advance their current healthcare career, or pursue graduate study.

General requirements

For first-year students, a U.S. high school diploma or its equivalent is required, and you must not have previously attended a college or university.

We will evaluate your application based on your relevant educational documents and your English proficiency.

As part of the application process, we will decide how your international transcripts translate into U.S. credits. We strongly recommend that you take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), or the American College Test (ACT), or both, and submit your scores to WP. This is not mandatory for admission, but certain majors and merit scholarships may require these test scores.
