Graduate minor / concentration:

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”)
Two courses KAAP617 and KAAP627 were submitted as ‘new’
courses but this was for the purpose of renumberingKAAP689/690
in order to list the biomechanics courses within a logical numerical sequence. The new KAAP617 will correspond to an
undergraduate listing of this course (KAAP417) and KAAP627 will correspond to
an undergraduate listing of this course (KAAP427).
KAAP615/616 are proposed as two new courses that will be cross
listed with BISC605/606. BISC and KAAP
faculty team teach these courses. Randy
Duncan, chair of Biology, is supportive.
Explain, when appropriate,
how this new/revisedcurriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate
education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/
Not applicable to graduate program
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.)
Graduate Seminar: The Masters of Science in Exercise
Science has four concentrations with a graduate seminar requirement. Currently, the Graduate Seminar in Exercise Science
(KAAP603) is required for four semesters and it has a credit value of 0. We submitted a revision to this requirement
such that the requirement changes from 4 semesters to three semesters, allowing
flexibility for 1 semester that may have a scheduling conflict and we are now
assigning the seminar a 1 credit value.
So, over the three required semesters, students will earn a total of
three credits. This has been updated in
the program requirements below, as highlighted.This revision has been made to four
concentrations within the MS in Exercise Science degree.
Updates and Corrections:
The following changes have been made to reflect updates in course
numbering or titles or errors that were found in the online course
catalog. These corrections are organized
by Concentration:
Exercise Physiology
KAAP804 Spelled out Exercise Physiology in title for
consistency across concentrations
KAAP800 has become KAAP655 (catalog never updated)
KAAP665 Correct title is 12-Lead ECG Interpretation
KAAP675 Correct title is Exercise Testing and Prescription
BISC605 Replaced with KAAP615 which will be cross listed with
BISC605 (proposed this cycle). The title
is also corrected to Advanced Mammalian Physiology I and the credits are now 3
instead of 4 now that BISC605/KAAP615 and BISC606/KAAP616 will split the
content of the original BISC605.
KAAP616 has been added to group B options.
KAAP651 has been added to group B options.
Biomechanics
BMSC601 is actually BMSC686
KAAP691 Gait Lab Internship does not exist and this internship is managed
through KAAP666 (Special Problem)
Two cognate electives have been added (Group B). These courses are typically taken by
biomechanics students as electives that are substituted to satisfy this
requirement. The electives are:
MEEG 682 Clinical Biomechanics
MEEG 683 Orthopedic Biomechanics
KAAP651 has been added to group B options.
Motor Control
KAAP615 & KAAP616 have been added to group B options
KAAP607 Correct title is Motor Learning and Control
KAAP651 Changed title to Neurophysiological Basis of Movement
(not ‘bases’)
KAAP808 Correct title is Seminar in Motor Behavior
KAAP666 Correct title is Special Problem
Sports Medicine
KAAP808 Correct title is Seminar in Motor Behavior
KAAP665 Correct title is 12-Lead ECG Interpretation
HESC800 is actually KAAP655 (previously renumbered – catalog
never updated)
BISC643 Corrected spelling of Analysis
KAAP615 & KAAP616 have been added to group B options
Clinical Exercise Physiology
HLPR809 Correct title is Health Behavior (without ‘theory’)
HLPR815 Correct title is Health and Older Adults (not ‘aging’)
Program Policy Document:
The following changes were made to the Program Policy
Statement:
1)
Change the tense of this policy statement reflecting
that the Clinical Exercise Physiology has been approved and is no longer a
‘proposed’ program.
2)
Change the name of the department to Kinesiology
and Applied Physiology throughout.
3)
Change the name of the graduate school to the Office
of Graduate and Professional Education throughout.
4)
Course prefix HESC was replaced with KAAP
throughout.
5)
‘Curriculum Committee’ replaces ‘Graduate Studies
Committee’ to reflect revisions to KAAP faculty bylaws.
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.)
