Catalog Description: This a supervised field experience, completed in cooperation with a qualified, partnering agency. The experience is designed to allow the Exercise Science major to demonstrate the professional skills and competencies appropriate to their chosen career path. Prerequisite: Instructor consent |
|
Course Goal and Objectives: 1. To assist the student in further developing professional knowledge and skills appropriate to the targeted career path. 2. To afford the student the opportunity to practice the range of professional responsibilities associated with the chosen career path. 3. To help prepare students for employment or for graduate level education. |
|
Justification for adding the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): This course is intended to replace PE 499-Capstone within the Exercise Science-Applied Track major. Student exit surveys conducted within the first two graduating classes within the BA/BS in Exercise Science have indicated a clear desire for a greater level of applied, hands-on experience within professional environments appropriate to the wide range of career paths emanating from the Exercise Science major. |
|
Faculty and facilities needed: The HPE Division is seeking to identify an adjunct faculty member to coordinate this and the existing internship program in Health, with potential additional instructional load in key health and exercise science areas. The intent is to cover this adjunct position within existing Division FTE budget. |
|
Brief Course outline: As the internship experience will be tailored to individual students needs, and may vary by cooperating agency, a comprehensive internship manual and internship application/completion packet will be developed upon approval of this new course proposal and associated program change proposal. |
