在这里学什么？

The mission of the Health and Exercise Sciences Department is to prepare students of strong academic ability and character to become agents of change for the health and well-being of all people.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Health Science is enhanced by a broad liberal arts and sciences background in English, mathematics, biological and physical sciences, social sciences, and humanities, together with the specialized courses that comprise the depth of the Health Science major.

The Health Science curriculum is designed to prepare students to promote health in educational or clinical settings in school, worksite, community, or public health environments. The undergraduate degree provides training for entry-level positions in municipal, county, state and national health departments, voluntary health agencies and HMOs (health maintenance organizations) as well as the curricular background necessary for graduate work in public health, health administration, occupational therapy, medicine, or physician assistant (PA) programs. The major requires a Public Health Practicum or internship in which students gain important practical experience directly related to their career interests. One of the unique features of the Truman Health Science undergraduate experience is the opportunity to actively engage in research. A significant number of Health Science majors present their findings at international, national, regional, state, or local professional conferences, or publish their work in peer reviewed professional journals.

HEALTH SCIENCE CONCENTRATION DESCRIPTIONS

To provide the opportunity for students to explore and develop more specialized interests, the Health Science curriculum requires the selection of one career concentration ranging from 22-26 credits. Courses comprising the program concentrations are based upon the recommendations of faculty members whose expertise is identified with these specialties. Individualized concentrations may also be designed to meet personal goals. The specific courses required for each concentration are listed in the Major Requirements section below. Community, Worksite, and Public Health (24 Credits): The Community Public Health Educator may be employed as a disease prevention/health promotion specialist in voluntary agencies (Red Cross, American Lung Association, Women’s Health Clinics, etc.), local agencies (private companies, HMOs, PPOs, hospitals, etc.), county or state agencies (health departments), or federal agencies (CDC, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, etc.). The specific job may be a one-on-one approach (HIV/AIDS Educator) or it may involve an entire state, as in the case of coalition building. Leadership, ability to work independently, health knowledge, and a vast resource library are the principal ingredients for a Community Public Health Educator.
