I was looking for a flexible program in health communication or education that I could complete online. I found out about the UA program through my online research. The curriculum for the MA in Health Studies looked well designed, with a strong emphasis on theory. I also wanted a program that would make me eligible to sit for the exam to become a certified health education specialist.”
I found that the UA Health Studies curriculum is great preparation for either the CHES or MCHES exam. When it was time to study, there were no surprises in the Seven Areas of Responsibility for health educators. I went into the exam with a solid foundation, including an understanding of how theory can be applied in various settings.
The education I received through the Health Studies program has made me a more creative thinker. There’s always more than one way to tackle a problem, and theories offer a selection of frameworks for strategic thinking.
Upon graduation from UA, Freedman took that exam and achieved the highest score in the nation out of all candidates who took the exam that year.
