What is the difference between the Behavioral Sciences and Health Education tracks? What is the balance of students in each track?
A generalization is that the Behavioral Sciences students tend to be more research-oriented, while Health Promotion & Education students get more hands-on field work experience. Curricula for the tracks are very similar. However, BS students are required to take an advanced theory course and a Survey Methods course, while HE students take a Curriculum & Instruction course, Community Needs Assessment, and choices of selective courses or Health Education seminars. All BSHE students get a firm grounding in research methods, evaluation, measurement, applied behavioral research methods, and other skills that can be used in any public health environment. Students are also free to take electives in either track, and work with faculty who might identify themselves as either Health Education, Behavioral Sciences, or both, so there is a great deal of interaction between the two groups of students.
