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)
DELETE HESC490 (Development
of Health Promotion Programs) from the
concentration requirements for Fitness Management and ADD HESC490 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. The students will still be prepared as those
in Fitness Management will still take anatomy and 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.)
