List program changes for curriculum revisions:

1.  Revise Breadth Requirements for Exercise Physiology Concentration:

Replace MATH221, Calculus I with

Math221, Calculus I (3)

Or

Math241, Analytic Geometry and Calculus A (4)

 

2.   Revise Concentration, Major requirements:

      a.   Add HESC451, (title being changed to Clinical Exercise Physiology) as an option to

            HESC432, Exercise Testing and Prescription

            Or

            HESC434, (title being changed to ECG Interpretation)

b.   Delete HESC353, (title being changed to Pre-Professional Seminar) from Concentration Requirements and add to Major Requirements

 

List new courses required for the new or revised curriculum:

 (Be aware that approval of the curriculum is dependent upon these courses successfully passing through the Course Challenge list. If there are no new courses enter “None”)

 

none

 

Other affected units:

(List other departments affected by this new or revised curriculum.  Attach permission from the affected units.  If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)

 

Letter from Math Department attached

 

Rationale:

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

 

  1. Many students entering this major and concentration have AP credit for MATH241.

2a.  Adding an additional course as an option within the major requirements will provide students with enhanced ability to select a course that most closely aligns with their career goals. HESC432, Exercise Testing and Prescription, is a course appropriate for students interested in personal training and the fitness industry.         HESC434, (title being changed to ECG Interpretation,) is a course appropriate for students interested in cardiac rehabilitation or medicine. HESC451, (title being changed to Clinical Exercise Physiology,) is appropriate for students interested in pursuing an advanced degree in physiology or exercise science.

 

2b.  HESC353, (title being changed to Pre-Professional Seminar,) is currently required of students in the exercise physiology concentration within the exercise science major. Although at one time the career goals of the students in biomechanics and motor control, (the other concentration within exercise science,) were different from those of the students in exercise physiology, virtually all students in the major now plan careers in medical or allied health fields or plan to go on to graduate school in exercise science or a related field. The written student evaluations of HESC353 are extremely positive and it has occurred to the faculty that the course would also be beneficial to the education of the students in the biomechanics and motor control concentration. Moving the course from being an exercise physiology concentration requirement to a major requirement, will therefore benefit the education of the students in the biomechanics and motor control concentration who have previously not had access to this course.

 

Program Requirements: 

(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the Course Catalog.  If this is a revision, be sure to indicate the changes being made to the present curriculum.)
