Do you want to advocate for the health of individuals, families, and communities? Do you want to enable people to increase control over their health and prevent diseases while stressing the importance of healthy living? Majoring in Health Promotion at Springfield College will help you get started.

You’ll be prepared to become a health professional in public health sectors at the local, state, national and international settings. You’ll have the skills to plan, implement, and evaluate health programs in schools, community health centers, health care organizations, and work sites.
