Health (BS)

Health Degree

Health and wellness issues pose great challenges to each individual, our nation, and the world. Developing a sense of personal responsibility for one’s well-being, an understanding of the basic principles of health and wellness, an awareness of the multidimensionality of health and wellness, and the importance of the interrelationship of those dimensions is critical to addressing health and wellness concerns.

Growing emphasis on prevention is creating new opportunities in health and wellness-related industries. Demand for health and wellness professionals is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations due to the rising cost of health care, changes in healthcare coverage, and the demands of society to empower people with the skills that allow them to be well by developing healthy lifestyles.
