Overview

The Community Health Promotion program at the University of Minnesota draws on a wide range of expertise to train students in innovative social and behavioral science and community engagement research and applications.

Graduates leave ready to design behavioral health programs, craft and influence health policies, and evaluate program outcomes to improve health for all.

Careers

The national job market for community health promotion positions is extremely strong. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, faster than average job growth is expected and graduate degrees are preferred by employers in public health and for non-entry-level positions. This growth is primarily due to an increase in opportunities and the variety of settings health promotion graduates are needed.

What was once a profession practiced mainly in classrooms and health facilities, the profession has extended into all levels of government, voluntary and social service agencies, medical care organizations, workplaces, schools, and advocacy organizations.
