B.A in Health and Wellness
Advisor: Marianne Morrissey, (773) 442-4159
Description
Health and Wellness has two majors: Secondary Health Education and Community Health and Wellness. The Secondary Health Education major prepares students for health education teaching positions in secondary schools (grades 6-12). Students completing the Secondary Health Education major and graduating from Northeastern Illinois University are entitled to Illinois State Teacher Certification in health education. The Community Health and Wellness major prepares students for professional positions in a variety of health-related settings, including government, industry, the non-profit sector, and health service delivery organizations. The Community Health and Wellness track is a non-teacher certification track.
Students in both the Secondary Health Education major and the Community Health major complete the Health and Wellness core courses. In addition, Secondary Health Education students complete the Secondary Health Education Professional Preparation courses, the Fall Clinical Experience courses, and Student Teaching. Community Health students complete the Community Health Professional Preparation Courses and the Internship.
