Health Education
Begin your studies in health and physical education
Health/physical educators teach people about behaviors that promote lifelong wellness. They develop and implement strategies to improve the health and fitness of individuals and communities. Studying health/physical education can lead to a career as a wellness coordinator/consultant, health coordinator/advocate, patient educator or PE teacher.
The Health/Physical Education Program at Harper College provides students an opportunity to complete transfer-ready coursework in health education.
Start at Harper. Finish at a four-year university.
The Associate in Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Science (A.S.) degree prepares you to transfer to a four-year college or university to complete a bachelor's degree in health education. Speak with your advisor about the best courses to take to meet your academic goals.
Harper also offers institution-specific transfer information to help prepare you to transition to a four-year university. To learn more, visit our Transfer Information page or see your advisor.
