The Department of Health Education and Behavior offers a Ph.D. in<br />

health and human performance with a concentration in health<br />

behavior and a 36-credit M.S. degree in health education and<br />

behavior with thesis, project-in-lieu-of-thesis, and nonthesis<br />

options. The M.S. degree program also offers a specialization in<br />

community health education. Requirements for the Ph.D. and M.S.<br />

degrees are given in the General Information section of this catalog.<br />

The Ph.D. degree program trains health behavior researchers for<br />

academic positions in higher education, for leadership positions in<br />

federal health agencies (such as the Centers for Disease Control<br />

and Prevention, and the National Institutes for Health), and for<br />

postdoctoral research fellowships. The 36-credit M.S. degree allows<br />

students to design individualized programs of study suited to their<br />

professional interests and career goals. Students can complete their<br />

degree program in one calendar year. The Department also offers<br />

an accelerated B.S./M.S. program in health education and behavior<br />

to enable students to receive both B.S. and M.S. degrees with a<br />

reduction of 12 credits (about one semester of course work).<br />

Applicants to the Ph.D. and M.S. programs often hold a previous<br />

degree in health education or a degree from a social or behavioral<br />

discipline, but applications from other disciplines are also<br />

considered.
