hello ya'll
im currently looking into MA and MS programs in Communication/Health Communication and Health Education. i would love to know more about the diffferences/similarities between these programs.
since i'm working towards a career in public health i would especially appreciate any feedback ya'll have on feasibility of each type of program and marketability re: Public Health PhD's
my primary research interests center around developing and implementing innovative ways to enagage with communities around health disparities. i specifically want to look at the ways we can use new/creative media to build community capacity and support/expand existing movements working towards health care justice.
i have a background in psychology/biology, mixed methods research, and community organizing- and i've got a strong interest in CBPR
im thinking MS may be more fitting for a career path in public health, but two of my mentors (who specialize in CBPR work) have MA's in communication and are doing well.
im thinking i may want to consider applying to MA and MS programs....asdfghjkl need halp tho.
thoughts?
