Health & Wellness

Health & Wellness Pathway programs provide strategies, knowledge and skills for a rewarding career as a health or wellness professional of the 21st century. The pathway is designed for students to have hands-on experience, develop problem-solving skills, and provide industry standard experience. Through education and experience learned in this discipline we can help produce students who are committed to being culturally and socially responsive, fostering integrity, and promoting healthier lives. Students who want to enter the workforce directly can earn industry related certificates, and/or students can continue their education through transfer to a four-year university.
