and Recreation), social work, psychology, and business students
who wish to work with lay and/or professional populations. The
minor DOES NOT meet requirements for teaching licensure
in health education.
Course requirements : Health Promotion Minor
HEALTH EDUCATION MINOR: serves Elementary/Middle School
licensure students. Courses that are used to meet health minor
requirements may not be used to meet major course requirements.

HEALTH EDUCATION CERTIFICATE PROGRAM ( ADD-ON
LICENSURE PROGRAM ): Serves as the existing structure
for students wishing to acquire the Health Education add-on
licensure. A health minor is NOT declared for this program.
This program does not show up on an AR, however, a student
who successfully completes the program will receive a Health
Education Certificate from the Department of Health, Physical
Education, Recreation and Coaching. This certificate program
will be identified on a student's transcripts and will then qualify
the student for recommendation to the Wisconsin Department
of Instruction for licensure in health education.
