Program Overview

Program Description:

The Graduate Certificate in Health and Wellness is designed to prepare educators to teach health, fitness and wellness principles including information about risk behaviors and choices made by adolescents. In addition, this group of courses comprises one-half of the course work needed for a health education certification in the state of Florida. The health certificate is needed by teachers who teach Life Management Skills, a required course in Florida high schools. These courses may also be of interest to students and community members from many different disciplines concerned with youth and adolescent development.

International Requirements:

In order to enroll in graduate classes, students must have obtained a baccalaureate or higher degree, prior to the start of the term for which the student is admitted, from a regionally accredited institution or from a recognized foreign institution. International students are not eligible for nondegree/certificate status unless they hold an eligible visa. International applicants are encouraged to begin the application process early. Also, international applicants should ensure all supporting documents, including those required to issue an I-20, are received by the stated application deadline. Only official documentation is accepted and it is the student's responsibility to submit all documents by the application deadline.
