Schedule of Classes

Health care professions, terminology, concepts in health science, and basic knowledge and skills of those in health science.

An overview of topics designed to provide students with skills and knowledge needed to incorporate concepts of personal wellness and physical fitness. Focusing on the health benefits of personal wellness and fitness, students will participate in exploring concepts critically and in lab activities designed to engage the student actively in planning personalized programs for physical activity, nutrition, and other wellness concepts.

Methods of assessing health, fitness, and tolerance during physical activity for program development, group assessment, and research.

The Experiential Learning in Health Science course provides an engaging opportunity for direct experience in healthcare. Students choose an area of focus to increase knowledge, develop skills, clarify values and develop student's capacity to contribute to their communities. May be repeated under different topics for a total of 4 credit hours; concurrent enrollment in 2 separate sections is permitted.

Self-directed, 40 clock hour practicum focused on health, nutrition, and/or fitness.

Integration of the understanding of basic human structure and function with common conditions and injuries that impact the athlete.

Principles and procedures for statistical interpretation of data. Study of measures and control tendency, variability, correlation, and introductory predictive and inferential statistics.

A systems approach to the study of the human body's response to exercise and physical activity.

This course will explore health and disability issues affecting individuals around the world and across the lifespan. Students will develop a greater understanding of the ways in which physical disabilities and health issues impact an individual's ability to participate at home, in the community, and in the workplace. The influence of health care availability, education, cultural practices, and the physical environment will be explored.

Individual study and investigations through selected readings, discussion, and/or written assignment(s). May be repeated up to a total of three hours.

Basic science principles and functional applications that govern function of normal musculoskeletal system.

Lab-based course focused on utilization of scientific knowledge related to increasing flexibility, strength, power, and endurance for practical application in exercise prescription.

Analysis of the kinetic and kinematic principles influencing human motion with emphasis on sport and fitness activity from a health science perspective.
