Program description
The M.Ed. in physical activity and Health relates to the M.P.H. in community health promotion in the School of Public Health in the following ways:
1.The ultimate goals of the programs are to promote health and prevent chronic diseases;
2. Both programs study the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations; and
3. Both programs adopt population-based interventions.
However, they are essentially different in that the M.P.H. in community health promotion focuses on designing community-based program and policy interventions that improved the health of communities while the proposed M.Ed. in physical activity and health focuses on applied training of physical activity professionals to increase physical activity in various populations.
There are limited prerequisites for this program. Students with a background in kinesiology, exercise science, public health, biology, and/or psychology will be able apply for the program. There is minimal overlap with the existing M.Ed. programs at School of Kinesiology and the existing M.P.H. programs at School of Public Health.
