Programs offered
Master of Science in Education in Health Education
Master of Science in Teaching in Health Education
The Health Department offers two graduate programs for students interested in pursuing initial or professional New York State Teacher certification. The programs are based on welldeveloped philosophical and theoretical foundations, reflect national level professional preparation standards, and focus on the development of background, skills and competencies related to sound health education practice. The programs have been designed to meet the needs of students who have undergraduate preparation in health education (M.S. Ed.), for students with a degree in another teacher certification area (M.S.T. tracks A and C), and for students who possess an undergraduate degree outside of teacher education and would like to become certified in health education (M.S.T. track B)
Career Potential
- School health educator
- Health educator in community agencies
- Health educator at college or university level
- Prevention specialist in school and community agencies
- School district health education coordinator
- Public health educator
Admission Requirements
In addition to meeting the requirements for admission to a graduate degree program, the applicant for enrollment in the Master of Science in Education in Health Education and Master of Science in Teaching in Health Education programs should present the following:
- Completion of an undergraduate bachelor’s degree.
- A minimum undergraduate cumulative grade point average of 2.8.
- Names, addresses and telephone numbers of three references.
Applicants for the M.S.Ed. program should present a copy of current teacher certification in health or documentation that certification requirements have been met.
Entry into the Health Department graduate programs is very competitive, with more eligible applicants than can be accommodated. The 2.8 cumulative undergraduate grade point average criterion is the minimal acceptable grade point average, but does not guarantee admission into a degree program.
