PROGRAM CHANGE SUMMARY:

Human Performance Management (HPM) is a flexible and interdisciplinary program of studies within the Health Promotion and Human Performance Department. Students who major in HPM select either a Wellness Emphasis or Sport and Recreation Services Emphasis. The HPM curriculum includes 63 credit hours, arranged with 26 hours of core courses and one of two areas of emphasis with 37 credit hours. Each of the areas of emphasis has three required support courses (nine or ten hours) that may be counted toward university general education requirements.

This proposed program change includes the following changes:
1. substitute two human performance management core courses with sales and service technology courses that already exist in the sales and service technology department (No change in credit hour), delete a course PEP 4620
2. add a new course (PEP 3450 Structural Kinesiology) to the wellness required core and as a pre-requisite for PEP 3500 and move a current required core course to elective selection (Increase of one credit hour to required core negated by next change),
3. delete a senior level required health core course and add a junior level required health core course in the wellness emphasis (decrease of one credit hour from electives negated by previous change),
4. allow substitution of Teaching of Neuromuscular Conditioning (2 hr) for Teaching Aerobic Conditioning (2 hr) in the wellness emphasis,
5. delete Human Biology (ZOOL LS 1020) as one of two possible required support courses in the wellness emphasis, keeping Biomedical Core (HTHS LS 1110),
6. add Wellness Coaching (HLTH 4700) (3 hr) to the list of electives in the wellness emphasis,
7. delete Issues in Sport (PEP 3550) (2 hr) and add Sociohistorical Aspects of Sport (PEP 2700) (3 hr) to the sport and recreations services emphasis required core which increases the current required core one credit hour to be countered by a decrease of one credit hour from electives,
8. delete Physiological Aspects of Human Performance (PEP 3540) (2 hr) and add Sport Psychology for Coaches (PEP 3400) (3 hr) or Psychology of Sport, Injury & Rehabilitation (AT 3200) (3 hr) to the list of elective courses in the sport and recreation services emphasis,
9. incorporate non-substantive course name changes which more accurately reflect the courses in the sport and recreation services emphasis Recreation and Leisure in Society (REC 3050) and Recreation and Sport Leadership (REC 3810) as well as Kinesiology (PEP 3500) to Biomechanics in the wellness emphasis.

JUSTIFICATION:
1. Human Performance Management (HPM) Program Reviews conducted in 2003 and 2008 have assessed expected student learning outcomes and found the ability to perform general business operations including policy formation, financial management, marketing, quality assurance, customer service, and facility and equipment operations to be the weakest among the graduates’ competencies. Replacing the courses that have been in the Core to develop these outcomes with SST 3203- Customer Service Techniques and SST 3563- Principles of Supervision is intended to address these deficiencies.
2. The creation of a new course, PEP 3450 - Structural Kinesiology, in the Health Promotion and Human Performance Department is essential to include in the Core Requirements for the Wellness Emphasis. The material that has been taught in the single course, PEP 3500, was actually condensed from separate courses, Structural and Mechanical Kinesiology during semester conversion. The breadth of the material is best learned in separate courses as currently taught in the majority of universities offering exercise and sport sciences.
3. Health 4150 Needs Assessment and Planning Health Promotion Programs (4) is only appropriate for upper division students majoring in health promotion. Health 3000- Foundations of Health Promotion (3) introduces students to emerging trends and professional responsibilities in the wellness industry. Thus, Health 4150 will be deleted and Health 3000 will be added to the HPM wellness required core.
4. Teaching Aerobic Conditioning (2) is currently the required teaching methods class for all wellness emphasis students and Teaching Neuromuscular Conditioning (2) is an elective. Many Human Performance Management students prefer to teach and certify in strength training over teaching and certifying in aerobic conditioning.
5. Upon recommendation of the reviewers from the Human Performance Management Program Review in 2008 to incorporate both parts of the Biomedical Core sequence (HTHS LS 1110 (4 hr) and HTHS 1111 (4 hr)) in the wellness emphasis and from the lack of adequate preparation by ZOOL LS 1020- Human Biology for PEP 3500 and PEP 3510, the required support course will no longer allow Human Biology as one of life science support courses.
6. Health 4700 - Wellness Coaching (3) is a new course that was added to the Health Promotion program of studies last year. It is an excellent elective choice for the wellness emphasis students.
7. PEP 3550 - Issues in Sport (2) is being deleted by the physical education program and replaced by PEP 2700 -Sociohistorical Aspects in Sport (3). This is a program change to reflect that change.
8. PEP 3540 - Physiological Aspects of Human Performance (2) has not been taught for a decade and is not offered through any major or minor in the department. Two new courses in the Health Promotion & Human Performance Department involving sport psychology (AT 3200 and PEP 3400) are well suited for sport management studies.
9. Change the Human Performance Management description to incorporate the non-substantive course name changes which more accurately reflect the courses in the sport and recreation services emphasis Recreation and Leisure in Society (REC 3050) and Recreation and Sport Leadership (REC 3810) as well as Kinesiology (PEP 3500) to Biomechanics in the wellness emphasis.
