About this Degree
The solution to many of today's public health problems requires some type of behavioral change. Increasingly, health practitioners are looking to the field of health education and health communication for methods to adapt behavioral science principles to solve selected health problems.
An MPH in the Health Education and Communication (HEDC) concentration at Tulane University provides those interested in working within the United States, and in developing countries, the opportunity to develop these learning experiences.
The MPH in Health Education and Communication prepares graduates to work in the areas of health promotion and disease prevention in order to decrease health disparities and advance health equity. Students’ training will focus on effective methods to support behavior change at the individual and community levels.
