Online Health Education Degree Programs

Online degrees in Health Promotion and Health Education, also known as Wellness Studies, train graduates to promote good health habits within their communities. Health promoters and educators learn the importance of diet, exercise, vitamins, and positive behavior in maintaining personal health. They go on to create public education programs on a range of health topics, including obstetrics, tobacco, HIV/AIDS, heart disease, teenage pregnancy, and immunizations.

Online degrees in Health Promotion and Health Education are available at the associate, bachelor, master's, and doctoral level. Associate degrees include a basic science curriculum and coursework in human health, fitness, sex and drug education, nutrition, and more. Bachelor degrees offer a more rigorous curriculum, with courses in leadership, computer technology, health and social theory, and developing health education programs. At the master's level, students can specialize in Health Promotion Management or Health Education. Health Promotion Management qualifies students for leadership positions in healthcare clinics, hospitals, schools, and nonprofits. Specialized coursework can include health communication, exercise physiology, or business administration. Graduate degrees in Health Education focus on teaching and research skills.

Opportunities in the field of Health Promotion and Education are strong, with median salaries in the $50,000 range. Education programs cannot guarantee job or salary prospects, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts faster than average growth across the health education professions.
