Health Education Certificate
This certificate 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.
