AREA OF CONCENTRATION: The purpose of this transfer track is to prepare students for a career in health education or other health related fields such as health management, counseling, nutrition and community health. The four year degree will lead to certification in teaching health education. Students are encouraged to be familiar with the admissions requirements at the university they plan to attend. Students may have additional requirements for admission to a teacher‐preparatory program. Please contact a GCCC adviser or the transfer institution for further guidance. The state of Florida requires a thorough background check by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement prior to students entering the classroom for observations. The college requires the submission of written verification of approved and completed background checks before students may complete on‐site course requirements. Student doing observations in school systems must go to the district in which they will do their observations and comply with the requirements of that system. The students will be required to pay a fee for the cost of the background check.
