Note: all graduate studies proposals must include an electronic copy of the Graduate Program Policy Document, highlighting the changes made to the original policy document.

 

 

 

List new courses required for the new or revised curriculum. How do they support the overall program objectives of the major/minor/concentrations)?

 (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

 

Explain, when appropriate, how this new/revised curriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/

 

The revision related to the DLE supports goal #7 “Develop the ability to integrate academic knowledge with experiences that extend the boundaries of the classroom”

 

Identify other units affected by the proposed changes:

(Attach permission from the affected units.  If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)

 

None

 

 

 

Describe the rationale for the proposed program change(s):

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

 

1.  The proposal is to add Nutrition to the list of approved programs for Department Breadth Requirements in the Biological and Natural Sciences and Mathematics for students in the Health and Exercise Science (HESC) majors in the Department of Health, Nutrition, and Exercise Science. The included majors are Athletic Training, Exercise Science, Health & Physical Education, Health Behavior Science, and Sport Management. Several years ago when the Nutrition program joined the department, Nutrition was eliminated from the list because it is not appropriate for students in the Nutrition majors to count nutrition courses as breadth requirements. The intention was always to keep Nutrition courses as Science Breadth Requirement options for the students in the non-nutrition majors, and, in fact, NTDT200 has been and continues to be listed as a course requirement that satisfies a breadth requirement in the lists of required courses for these majors. Adding “Nutrition (for HESC majors only)” to the master list of approved breadth requirement options at the beginning of the description of department major requirements simply adds consistency to what appears in the catalogue.

 

2. In the two concentrations in Exercise Science (Biomechanics & Motor Control / Exercise Physiology), the major requirements are being revised to include a Discovery Learning Experience course.  The revised catalogue will list three options for the DLE, stated as: “HESC463 Practicum in Exercise Science, or HESC485 Research in Exercise Science, or study abroad, or other DLE approved courses”.  HESC463 Practicum in Exercise Science and HESC485 Research in Exercise Science are existing departmental courses that are simultaneously being recommended for DLE approval status.  This change to the major supports the DLE requirements of the university.  There is no change in the credit requirements for either concentration because the course catalogue already listed the UNIVERSITY REQUIREMENT for 3 credits of DLE.  Both of the revised concentrations are below.

 

3.  The proposed revision is the deletion of HESC250, Motor Development, from the Biomechanics and Motor Control Concentration requirements within the Exercise Science major. The course has been tailored to meet the needs and interests of the Health and Physical Education (teacher preparation) majors, and is no longer appropriate for the Exercise Science majors. Replacing this content for students in this major and concentration will be HESC428/429, Motor Control and Learning, which will be offered annually beginning in fall 08.

 

 

 

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 current curriculum and include a side-by-side comparison of the credit distribution before and after the proposed change.)
