entry:
Students will
explore contemporary health issues. The course includes four components: (1)
completion of a research project, leadership project or program project in
health and wellness promotion; (2) an oral presentation of research findings
(in the writing and delivery of their research, students are expected to
demonstrate content and critical thought mastery in addition to written and
oral competency); (3) career and/or graduate study plan; (4) evidence of growth
in personal health and wellness during their course of study and the completion
of a lifestyle plan. This senior capstone experience serves as the
demonstration of competency in the major. A grade of C or better is required to
graduate. Prerequisites: HWP 310 and HWP 335. Fall and Spring.
Impact:
Course has been taught twice a year for the
last two years. These changes are not anticipated to impact staffing or
resources. The prerequisite changes will serve to make it easier for students
to take this course in a timely manner and should reduce problems with time to
graduation.
Rationale:
The change in prerequisites is necessary
for students to be prepared for the course content and is in keeping with
overall changes in the HWP major curriculum. Course description changed to
reflect actual content and skills addressed.
