Coordinator: Dr. Janet Heller
Health education is a rapidly growing field that aims
to promote health and prevent diseases in individuals,
families and communities. Community health educators
work in hospitals, health centers, community agencies,
schools, business settings and governmental
agencies. Health educators impart information about
such health issues as heart disease, diabetes, obesity,
stress, reproductive health, dependencies and safety.
The School Health Educator is a specialist who teaches
and promotes health in any educational facility from
pre-kindergarten through college. Public, private and
parochial schools, as well as colleges and universities,
all require trained health educators. The A.S. degree in
Community/School Health Education offers a solid
foundation for continuing on toward a baccalaureate
degree either at The City University of New York or at
other colleges and universities. Upon completion of the
60 credit A.S. degree, students may enter a bachelor’s
degree program as a third year student or they may
seek employment in a community health agency.
