Franklin University, one of the leading educators of working adults in central Ohio, is pleased to announce its new Health Education & Promotion Program.

Over the last year, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the significance of public health, while also exposing disparities in the availability of wellness and disease prevention resources. With Franklin’s new Health Education & Promotion degree, students gain the knowledge and skills to bridge these gaps.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, job growth for health education specialist and community health workers is expected to grow 13% through 2029, which is much faster than average. Franklin’s in-demand degree provides students with a broad understanding of disease processes and prevention, as well as the research, education, and communication techniques necessary to create, implement, and promote health programs that impact individuals and communities. 

Throughout the course of this program, students will explore theories and models behind health education methods, social marketing concepts, and strategies that promote multicultural diversity and inclusion. With the knowledge gained through this program, students will have the opportunity to then test their abilities, while solving real-world health and wellness problems. 

Completion of Franklin’s bachelor’s program in Health Education and Promotion equips students with skills aligned with industry standards. As a result, completion of the degrees qualifies those to sit for the Certified Health Education Specialist exam administered through the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (NCHEC).
