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”)
HESC671, Clinical Exercise Physiology Internship, is a
9-credit requirement in the proposed concentration. This requirement is
designed to provide students with essential hands-on experience working in a
clinical exercise physiology setting. HESC671 is variable credit (3-9 credits)
so that students may either do all 9 credits at once or spread them over as
many as three terms. Forty hours of work per credit are required. The UD
professor assigned supervision of the internship will determine the P/F grade
in consultation with the on-site supervisor. Weekly, structured, written
reports summarizing activities and observations will be required of students
during the internship. Any student who is already employed in a clinical
exercise physiology setting will not be allowed to use his/her existing job for
the internship experience.
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.)
The concentration in
Clinical Exercise Physiology will provide students with the opportunity to
develop an in depth knowledge of and hands-on experiences in preventive and
rehabilitative practices for patients with cardiopulmonary, metabolic, and
musculoskeletal diseases as well as apparently healthy and low risk
populations. Clinicians will act as part of a health care team that develops
exercise recommendations, administers diagnostics tests and provides guidance
that promotes healthy lifestyles. The concentration will also help students
prepare for the
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.)
Master
of Science in Clinical Exercise Physiology (Non-Thesis)
The Clinical Exercise
Physiologist Specialization is designed to be a 2 year, non-thesis program.
