Program Description

The Behavioral Science Major with Specialization in Community Health is designed for people who are interested in improving the health and well being of people in the community. The specialization focuses your major and gives you knowledge and experiences that are directed toward an eventual goal of being a community health educator. The Behavioral Science major is a great choice of major for transfer students, as it is possible that classes you may have already taken will count towards either required or elective courses. Additionally, the program offers many opportunities for career development through credit-earning internships at a variety of NYC area worksites.

• Wellness Coordinator
