The Graduate Certificate in Community Health contributes to 15 of the 25 credit hours in health education/health promotion needed for community and public health practitioners to take the Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) examination (see NCHEC at www.nchec.org for specific requirements). The certificate also is available to students who wish to complement an existing degree in a health profession (e.g.,. health psychology, nursing, or social work), or who wish to explore a career in public health. This certificate complements (i.e., is not redundant with, can be completed in addition to) the Graduate Certificate in Public Health Core Concepts .
