The purpose of the Maternal and Child Health Education program is to prepare students for leadership roles uniquely equipped to meet health promotion needs in the broad range of programs that serve the MCH population. Students will develop skills to identify the social and environmental determinants of the health of women and children. Coursework provides students with a background in the biologic, social, and policy issues that impact the health of the MCH population as well as the skills needed to develop, implement, and evaluate public health education interventions addressing the health of the MCH population. Dual major students receive advanced training in health communication and promotion theories, implementation, and evaluation. This section provides students with skills to promote health at the population level. The strength is in working with communities to assist them in promoting health of their own members. Faculty members have expertise in planning of health education programs, evaluation of health education programs, working with communities to bring about change, and social marketing. Through the coursework, students learn concepts of community and how to work with community groups, approaches to planning prevention programs, and rigorous methods of evaluating programs. HEDC graduates will be qualified for the Certified Health Educator Specialist (CHES) exam. Students are encouraged to seek the skills they deem necessary beyond 45 credits.
