Step Initiative, or enter the workforce. |
The Community Health Option is a program specifically designed to help
students gain a strong academic foundation in health promotion and education,
preparing them to transfer to a four-year college or enter the workforce.
The Community Health Option offers students the opportunity to study the areas
of social sciences such as psychology, sociology, counseling and environmental
health, that allow students to understand both the scientific and the
environmental influences on health and wellness. Areas of study also include
biology, chemistry, human reproduction and sexuality as well as the basic
principles and practices associated with sound nutrition. In addition, courses
in English, mathematics and the humanities strengthen the development of one’s
general education skills. Together, these courses give students a broad
background in the public health field and an opportunity for further study in
this expanding and exciting area.
