Rationale:
(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the
curriculum or program.)
Changes 1 & 2 are proposed to eliminate content redundancy
in the curriculum. Faculty have determined that most
of the essential content from HESC354, Seminar in Fitness Management, (1
credit, P/F,) is already adequately addressed in HESC332, Health Behavior
Theory and Assessment. Similarly, essential content components from HESC329,
Dynamics of Team Problem Solving, are currently covered in HESC332 and HESC422,
Organization and Administration of Leisure Services. The faculty
have also decided that HESC263, Leadership Practicum, is not of
sufficient value to continue as a requirement, given that all students in the
major are required to do a 9-credit internship.
Change
3 replaces Physiology of Activity with a newly developed course designed to
provide more applied and practical content knowledge for students in this
concentration. Students in the
majors in Athletic Training, Exercise Science, and Health and Physical
Education, and in the Fitness Management Concentration in the Health Behavior
Science major are all currently required to take HESC430, Physiology of
Activity. However, the diverse academic course backgrounds and career goals of
the students in these majors make it difficult to package course content to
meet the needs of all students. The proposed course, HESC433, Applied
Physiology of Activity, is designed to meet the needs of students in Health and
Physical Education and Fitness Management, with more applied course content
that relies less on background content from biology and chemistry. This course
will present human physiology of exercise content within the context of fitness
applications relevant for students majoring in Health Behavior Science with a
Fitness Management concentration. HESC433 will therefore benefit the education
of the student majors in the Fitness Management concentration.
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.)
