Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

 

APC Document 77:                                           Change course description for HWP 380

 

 

Effective Date: Fall 2009

 

 

1. Delete:  On page 158, the course description for HWP 380, Internship in Health and Wellness Promotion:

 

Advanced students are placed in an area health and wellness promotion program for experience under professional supervision.  Includes reading and biweekly seminar.  Prerequisites: HWP 153 or 154 or 155; 182; 225; 253; Pre-or co- requisites HWP 310, 325, 420. See department chair.

 

Add:   On page 158, in place of deleted entry:

 

Students are placed in a supervised health and wellness promotion program that relates to their career goals and learning objectives. Requirements may include readings, a major project, biweekly seminars and final presentation. Prerequisites: one course from HWP 152, 153, 154 or 155; HWP 225. Certification in basic CPR/first aid is required. Spring and Fall.

 

 

Impact:

The changes should not affect the department or faculty teaching load as the course will be offered in the same manner that it currently is being offered.

 

Rationale:

The proposed change in prerequisites enables Health & Wellness Promotion students to complete this Internship experience earlier in their academic program, allowing them the opportunity to take more than one Internship if their career goals and personal development warrant. The addition of several academic requirements more appropriately reflects the current course content. The changes in the prerequisites allow reflect input from a survey of Internship site supervisors.
