Help picking school for Health Education undergrad

[sanantone]

Have you tried looking at job openings in your area to see what they want? Most of the jobs in my area require a bachelor's degree or higher.

Yeah, I'm not going to bother with the Associates, and probably not with a Bachelor's either.

I see some Health Education Masters degrees for under $5500  However I don't know if I can do them faster than 2 years, which sounds like a long time. I think I saw one that was 1 year only, but I assumed it was too expensive.

I have to research Health Education degrees versus Health Sciences, Public Health, etc. I might just go with whatever is self-paced and cheap, if there is one. (Cheap in this case is $5500 or less.)

I'm not sure there's enough demand in general, so I'm not totally set on these.

If you get the MPH, you'll have more flexibility. Even if you don't end up in health promotion, you can work in epidemiology, policy, research, enforcing health and safety regulations, or biostatistics. I think a CEPH-accredited program would be best. APUS has one.
