Why Minor in Health Education?
The minor in health education is designed for students who want to teach health in kindergarten through grade 12 or in public health settings. Faculty focus on productive teaching strategies and content related to the wellness wheel including physical, social, emotional, spiritual, intellectual and occupational well-being.
