HLPR 430 Behavior Change Strategies and Tactics
The focus of this
course is on behavior change strategies and how to work with individuals in
attempting behavior change. Students will work with various scenarios and case
studies emphasizing these techniques. This course will contribute to the health
behavior emphasis as part of the major.
Explain, when appropriate,
how this new/revised curriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate
education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/
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.)
Several courses will be
added to the major requirements. In accordance with the University of Delaware
initiative to add more rigor in the form of math, HLPR
222 (Introduction to Epidemiology) was added. This course relies upon
mathematical skills to study epidemiological analysis. The addition of BHAN 263
(Leadership Practicum) will provide students with practicum experience earlier in
their college career, at the sophomore level. This may assist students
determining a potential career path in the multidisciplinary field of
Behavioral Health. In accordance with the field of behavior change, HLPR 430 (Behavior Change
Strategies) was added to provide student s with skills in assisting individuals
to make healthy behavior changes.
Deletion of BHAN422 (Organization and
Administration). Focus in the major is on behavior change,
wellness, health promotion, and interventions. Pertinent organization and
administration pieces were covered in other courses in the curriculum.
In order to streamline the Breadth Requirements, we are now
using the categories of the University Breadth requirements for additional
courses.
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.)
