Community Health Program Details


Program Curriculum

The community health program curriculum is built on the belief that it is critical for KU students to not only gain a broad-based community health education, but to supplement that education with hands-on practical experience in the field. This powerful combination allows our students to excel in any community health environment. The senior internship in community health provides real-world experience and future employer contacts.


Please note: This is only a potential plan of study. Consult with your academic advisor before enrolling.


First Aid Certification

Students presenting current first aid certification in lieu of HSES 248 must take an additional two hours of course credit for graduation. Acceptable certification is: Standard First Aid with CPR/AED-Adult & Infant CPR, a nine hour course, American Red Cross.
