HEAL 10 
Health Care Essentials

The HEAL program is designed to help students at all levels prepare for careers in the health and environmental health fields.  This sophomore course provides students with a basic introduction to the study of environmental health.  Explanations of scientific principles and concepts assist the students in their understanding of the interrelationships between the natural world and environmental health.  Critical thinking skills will be developed so students do more than identify problems; they will analyze environmental health problems and evaluate what solutions are practical and economical.  ​​
