Health Promotion Sciences MS

at University of Connecticut

Graduates of the two-year Master's degree in Health Promotion Sciences are prepared for employment in public health, community-based treatment and healthcare facilities, worksites, and research settings as well as for continuation into a PhD program. You'll choose between a thesis track and a project/practicum track. Working with your faculty advisor, you'll develop an individualized plan of study that includes core courses in health promotion, research methods courses, and elective courses that deepen your knowledge in areas of interest (e.g. statistical modeling/evidence analysis, behavioral and environmental change interventions, genetics and diagnostics, etc.). You'll also develop a research agenda that will culminate in a thesis or a project/practicum.
