Program information
The Health Communication and Marketing Certificate signifies a concentration of three courses in the health communication field of study, and is noted on your transcript. The certificate is offered for students within and outside of the Hussman School of Journalism and Media interested in a career in the healthcare industry.
What does that mean for you as strategic communicators? It means your skill set is in demand by hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare advertising or PR agencies, insurance companies, non-profit organizations and more.
You’ll learn about the healthcare sector, explore the patient journey, map stakeholders and influencers, and get hands-on experience with marketing communications that can help people lead healthier lives.
Students accepted into the certificate program will be matched with an internship opportunity the summer before their senior year.
Students must complete three courses (nine credit hours) to receive the certificate. For course details, visit our undergraduate academic programs page and expand the Health Communications Certificate section.
