Wellness Management - Health Studies, M.S.

wellness issues within multiple populations. Students will gain
skills in grant writing and interpretation of statistics as well as
experience in research and leadership centered on issues of
health and wellness. Aspects of legal and ethical principles
within wellness programs will be addressed. The student will
be able to optimize their learning through elective courses in
