Health Education
Health educators teach people about behaviors that promote lifelong wellness. They develop and implement strategies to improve the health of individuals and communities. Studying health education can lead to a career as a wellness coordinator/consultant, health coordinator/advocate, patient educator or secondary education teacher.
The Health Education program at Harper College provides students an opportunity to complete transfer-ready coursework in health education.
