Undergraduate minor:____________________________________________________

                                   (Example:  African Studies,  Business Administration,  English, Leadership, etc.)            

 

Graduate Program Policy statement change:_________________________________

                                                                  (Must attach  your Graduate Program Policy Statement)

 

            Graduate Program of Study:______________________________________________

                                 (Example:  Animal Science: MS  Animal Science:  PHD  Economics: MA Economics: PHD)

 

 

                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”)

 

ADD HESC490 (Development of Health Promotion Programs) to the major requirements for Health Behavior Science.  Program planning is an important piece of the curriculum in HLBH for both concentrations of fitness management and leisure service management.

 

DELETE HESC200 from Major Requirements and ADD HESC311 to Major Requirements.  HESC200 was renumbered to HESC311.

 

CHANGE the Natural and Biological Sciences from 13 credits to 12 credits and DELETE the requirement of a biology course with a lab.

 

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):

 

We determined that those in Leisure Service Management could benefit from the health promotion program course (HESC490) as students now need those skills to be successful in the field. Therefore, it becomes a major requirement for all those in Health Behavior Sciences.

 

It was determined that the students are very limited in taking a 4 credit biology course with a lab. Changing the requirements to any 3 credit science will allow students to choose from a larger variety of 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.)
