Health & Wellness Studies Overview
A Bachelor’s degree in Health and Wellness, like a Nutrition or Health Science degree, is a great way to learn all aspects of what it takes to succeed in a career in Nutrition. Unlike Nutrition or Health Sciences, however, a Health and Wellness degree focuses on Nutrition Science as a foundation for further educational or career goals with a nutritional base in mind. Rooted in the latest research, a Health and Wellness degree prepares students for work in health care administration or management, public health administration, non profit or community health careers and more.
Professional Skills
Graduates of a Health and Wellness degree program are able to evaluate current scientific research, trends and literature, research projects and gather information regarding nutrition, and prescribe and consult to a wide variety of audiences including clients, patients, communities and other health care professionals on wellness, prevention, and general nutrition as it pertains to the overall aspects of health care.
Advanced Start Bachelor of Science degrees
As in the Nutrition and Health Science degree, Advanced Start Bachelor of Science degrees (Kaplan Only) are also available for Health and Wellness Studies programs. Those with an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree from a duly accredited program are eligible to complete their Health and Wellness Studies Bachelor’s degree in as little as two years, taking advantage of credits already received. Those who have previously taken credits in Health and Wellness Studies, or who have simply decided that a career change to the world of Health and Wellness or Nutrition Sciences was right for them, are also encouraged to inquire about these degree programs.
