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/

 

This revision is related only the mechanics of the curriculum and only improves the manner in which the 10 goals are already addressed. 

 

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.)

 

Background: Following a department split, the Department of Health, Nutrition and Exercise Sciences became the Departments of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology (KAAP) and Behavioral Health and Nutrition (BHAN). KAAP retains the name “Exercise Science” for one of its majors.  We are taking this opportunity to improve the mechanics of this major, its three concentrations (Exercise Physiology, Biomechanics & Motor Control, Medical Scholars) and our two minors (Exercise Science, Strength and Conditioning) by renumbering some classes, consolidating some 3-credit courses with their 1-credit lab sections.

 

In this proposal:

 

1.       The HESC course prefix has been replaced with the KAAP prefix except for HESC435 which has become BHAN435.

 

2.       KAAP430/431 are the 3 credit Exercise Physiology course and its co-requisite lab section.  431 will be deactivated and the lab will become part of 430, elevating it from 3 credits to 4.

 

3.       HESC440 is being removed from the minor because the little content that is relevant for the National Strength and Conditioning Certificate exam is more than adequately covered in KAAP447

 

4.       KAAP433/431 are the 3 credit Applied Physiology of Activity course and its co-requisite lab section.  431 will be deactivated and the lab will become part of 430, elevating it from 3 credits to 4.

 

5.       KAAP320/317 are the 3 credit Principles of Strength and Conditioning course and its co-requisite lab section.  317 will be deactivated and the lab will become part of 320, elevating it from 3 credits to 4.

 

6.       KAAP 425 or 426 (Biomechanics) are being moved from pre-requisites to required courses

 

7.       The correct name of HESC430 in course inventory is “Exercise Physiology” and this is being revised here.

 

8.       HESC 430 was incorrectly named as “Physiology of Activity” in the previous catalog.  The proposal includes a revision with the correct name “Exercise Physiology”.

 

 

 

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.)

Proposed

MINOR IN STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

 

This minor is designed to provide students with in depth understanding of the theory and practical considerations associated with physical training to enhance strength and conditioning. Students successfully completing the minor will be prepared to take the Strength and Conditioning Specialist Certification examination offered by the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

 

Students applying for the minor must have completed at least one semester of full time study with a minimum GPA of 2.25. Enrollment in the minor for at least four semesters is necessary due to sequencing of courses. A grade of C- or better in required courses is needed for successful completion of the minor.
