What are the key objectives of a health behavior career?
Understanding of dynamic development—health behavior science majors examine how people and groups grow and change over time. They learn to apply theories to understand the behavioral choices people make, as well as to guide their efforts to promote health and reduce disease. Health knowledge—students must understand mechanisms for achieving optimal health, as well as mechanisms that lead to chronic disease. Facilitating Behavior Change—students acquire skills to assist individuals in coordinating a comprehensive biological, psychological and social approach to behavior change and health.
