STUDENT TESTIMONIAL “After completing my B.S. in Physical Education at Sage, I knew that I wanted to complete my M.S. at Sage in Health Education. With teaching and coaching full time, the class schedules met my needs to be able to both work and complete my degree at the same time. Through the Health Education Program at Sage, I acquired skills that significantly prepared me to enter the Health Ed world.” – Tyler Rondeau, ’20
