\n<\/strong>Overview<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Health Promotion and Exercise Sciences (HPX) Department strives to educate all WCSU students about the importance of making healthy lifestyle choices to encourage life-long optimal health and well-being. The HPX Department offers three undergraduate degrees: The Bachelor of Science in Public Health, the Bachelor of Science in Health Education, PreK \u2013 12, and the Bachelor of Science in Sport and Wellness Management. All programs are 120 credits and include major requirements (including field-based experience), general education requirements, and free electives. Students choose one of three concentrations in the Public Health degree program: Allied Health Professions, Community Health, or Fitness and Wellness. Students choose one of two concentrations in the Sport and Wellness Management degree program: Sport Management or Wellness Management. After successful completion of the Health Education PreK-12 degree program and achieving a passing score on the PRAXIS II Health Education Exam, students are eligible for the Initial Educator Certificate in Health Education (#043) in Connecticut.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

HPX Department Vision<\/span><\/h3>\n

The HPX Department is the premier health promotion and health education program in the Northeast.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mission<\/span><\/h3>\n

The mission of the HPX Department is to link education and research with service learning, student teaching, and internship experiences in Health Promotion and Health Education. In addition, the department educates about and provides opportunities for making healthy lifestyle choices on campus and in the greater community.<\/p>\n

The strategies used to fulfill the mission include an experiential learning approach that incorporates team building, knowledge enhancement, skill building, volunteerism, and continuous quality improvement. Public Health degree students create health promotion programs for the university and surrounding community organizations, and the program culminates with a full semester professional internship. Fieldwork experience is intertwined throughout the curriculum for the Health Education PreK-12 candidates. Sport and Wellness Management students complete a field-based experience as part of the capstone course for the major. This experiential approach provides WCSU students with an opportunity to gain \u201creal\u2010life experience\u201d and help the community at the same time. Mentoring, advising, and leading by example are key components of our student\u2010centered approach.<\/p>\n

The curriculum is driven by competency-based objectives derived from ongoing internal and external program evaluations. Our graduates\u2019 performances in pre-professional activities and placements with schools, public and private health agencies, clinical sites, and fitness centers, corporations assist in the realization of the department\u2019s mission. We strive to meet the educational needs of a diversified student body so that our degree candidates will be prepared to address health education and promotion in a global society.<\/p>\n

          \n<\/span>General Education<\/b><\/em>: <\/span>All students must complete the General Education curriculum.\u00a0 The WCSU General Education curriculum invites students to encounter a broad range of topics and skills in the liberal arts and sciences. The system requires students to successfully complete a minimum of 40 semester hours split across eleven learning areas.\u00a0 Generally, students can satisfy the requirements for a given learning area with any course they choose within that area; some programs of study may require specific Major Designated General Education Courses<\/em><\/strong>; if so, they will be listed with the program requirements.\u00a0 Additionally, the Racial Justice and Global Diversity requirements may be completed with courses which are part of the program requirements. For a complete description of the General Education program, follow this link: https:\/\/catalogs.wcsu.edu\/ugrad\/academic-programs-degrees\/<\/a><\/p>\n

          Electives:<\/b><\/em>\u00a0All degrees require 120 semester hours.\u00a0\u00a0Elective credits are opportunities for minors, internships, study abroad, and just following general interests. We encourage all students to speak with their advisors about\u00a0great opportunities for their elective courses.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
