Help picking school for Health Education undergrad

[Ideas]

This is not a common undergraduate degree. Why would a major in health education be better than a degree in health science or public health with a concentration in health education? If you still plan to get the BSBA, then why not go on to an MPH?

Yeah, only about 10% of schools have it. At least there's Fort Hays.

I am thinking about MPH, but I'm trying to make a little more use of financial aid before getting the BSBA. Because MPH is not available through the cheap, fast competency schools and I just can't afford it for a while. So the plan would be get the undergrad, get a job, and hopefully have them reimburse for the Masters tuition.

The reason is there's a newer but industry standard certification, CHES. (NCCA accredited.) You can't have just a concentration in HE, you have to have courses in their specific major areas. The CHES is something employers look for, and I'm a weak candidate in some ways, so I prefer to have the certification before applying. There seem to be plenty of employers who don't need a Masters.

Another possible plan would be to take out a loan, get the MPH, and earn more sooner, more than enough to pay the loan and interest. However, my health gives me some concerns that others don't have.
