Plan and promote health programs by earning an online Bachelor of Science (BS) in Community Health Education.

The online bachelor's program focuses on improving the health of individuals based on their lifestyle needs. You'll explore effective ways to plan, develop, implement and evaluate community health programs. You'll also learn the critical components of public health education such as social and behavioral health, research and assessment, epidemiology and chronic and communicable diseases.

Career Outlook

With community health a concern throughout the United States and around the globe, the need for health educators and community health workers is on the rise.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, projections show that through 2028, the growth in employment could be as much as 11% for those positions – much faster than the national average of 5% for all occupations.1 Growth would be driven by efforts to improve health outcomes and to reduce healthcare costs by teaching people about healthy habits and behaviors and utilization of available healthcare services.

At a community level, health educators help overcome health disparities that ensure equal access to healthcare for specific demographics. “We look at the issues that are going on in our communities through a social justice lens,” said Southern New Hampshire University adjunct faculty member Dede Teteh, a certified health education specialist and public health researcher.

The 5 largest employers for both community health workers and health educators, according to the BLS1, are:

• Government
• Hospitals – state, local and private
• Individual and family services
• Outpatient care centers
• Religious, grantmaking, civic, professional and similar organizations

SNHU's online BS in Community Health Education program can help prepare you for a variety of roles within the high-growth public health education field, including:

• Community organizer or community health educator
• Health program educator or wellness manager
• Patient educator or public health educator
• Social and community service manager

Graduates with an undergraduate degree in community health education will also be well positioned to pursue a master's in public health online should they seek additional professional advancement in the field.
