\n<\/strong>Overview
\n<\/span>The Health Promotion and Exercise Sciences 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 Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion Studies (HPS) degree is one of two degree programs offered in the HPX Department; the other degree program is a Bachelor of Science in Health Education, pre-K \u2013 12. Both programs are 120 credits which include major requirements (including a 12-credit field experience), general education requirements, and free electives. The HPS BS degree program offers students four options: Allied Health Professions, Community Health, Holistic and Integrative Health, and Fitness and Wellness. Following completion of a Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion Studies, students will be prepared to sit for the national Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) examination. After successful completion of the Health Education Pre-K-12 program students receive a BS and a Connecticut teaching certificate.<\/span><\/p>\n


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


\nMission
\n<\/span>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.<\/span><\/p>\n

The strategies that we use to achieve this mission include an experiential learning approach that incorporates team building, knowledge enhancement, skill building, volunteerism, and continuous quality improvement. Health Promotion Studies degree students create health promotion programs for the university and surrounding community organizations. Fieldwork experience is intertwined throughout the curriculum for the Health Education PreK-12 candidates. 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


\nProgram Objectives
\n<\/span>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 and 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students are advised not to register for other courses, except for ED 340, HPX 460 and HPX 464, or be working in other jobs during this semester. A student teaching application (available at the Education Office), approved by the appropriate Health Education advisor, must be filed with the Chairperson of the Education department during the semester just prior to the student teaching semester. The student teaching requirement for Health Education majors consists of one semester. Students are responsible for providing their own transportation to and from their assigned schools.<\/p>\n

            Students earning other than a \u201cP\u201d grade in student teaching may be required to complete additional student teaching and\/or course work before receiving a recommendation for graduation and certification. Students must have at least a\u00a03.0 cumulative GPA in all courses to graduate as a Health Education major.<\/p>\n

            The Initial Educator Certificate will be issued by the State of Connecticut upon completion of program requirements and the passing of Health PRAXIS Subject Assessment (0550). All Subject Assessment exams are being offered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). ETS utilizes the national teacher examination (PRAXIS) specialty area tests for CONNTENT requirements. Additionally, students are encouraged to sit for the national CHES exam.<\/p>\n

            \nBACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN HEALTH PROMOTION STUDIES (B.S.)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

            The Health Promotion Studies (HPS) degree program offers students four options: Allied Health Professions, Community Health, Holistic and Integrative Health, and Fitness and Wellness. Following completion of a Bachelor of Science in HPS, students will be prepared to sit for the national Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) examination. Our graduates are leaders who are prepared for entry-level positions in a wide variety of private and public settings (i.e. corporations, hospitals, schools, community organizations and other multi-public service organizations) and for graduate programs (Public Health, Healthcare Administration, Exercise Science, Human Nutrition, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Chiropractic, Naturopathy, Physician Assistant, Health Administration, Athletic Training, etc.).\u00a0 In addition to a liberal arts core of courses, students must successfully complete health content and methodology courses, including the use of technology, in order to achieve professional competence as identified by standards set by national credentialing organizations. We use an experiential learning model to provide students with the skills needed to design, develop, implement and evaluate health promotion programs in a variety of settings. The core of our competency\u2010based program consists of five courses that provide group process experience to allow students to work together to plan, develop, market, implement and evaluate a health promotion program. Students complete 15-credits of content-based courses in their chosen option to provide a wellness-focused view of health as a multidimensional concept that encompasses more than the mere absence of disease. We approach health promotion from an ecological perspective to demonstrate the importance of the influence of factors at the individual-level and beyond on healthy lifestyle choices. These courses prepare students for their capstone experience \u2010 a 450 hour internship which takes the experiential learning to the next level. Internship planning begins in the second year and allows for selective placement. Students apply and interview for competitive positions in local, state\u2010wide, national, or international organizations. These experiences allow the students to showcase what they have learned and continue the learning process as they create innovative programs applying what they’ve learned in the real world.<\/p>\n

            Program Goals <\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Prepare students with the proficiencies to become life-long learners, and provide the skills needed to contribute to a healthy lifestyle, and improved quality of life for themselves and the people they educate.<\/li>\n
            2. Provide a comprehensive and multidisciplinary academic curriculum that prepares its graduates for careers in a variety of health promotion and education fields.<\/li>\n
            3. Prepare students to meet the standards set by state and national credentialing organizations for careers in health promotion and education.<\/li>\n
            4. Provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to health promotion and education emphasizing the connection and interdependency of individuals, groups and organizations, and communities in promoting and maintain health.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Physical Activity Requirement – 2 SH<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

              The Health and Wellness competency (HW) may be fulfilled by taking HPX 177\/177A Fitness for Life, a combination of one 1.0 credit lecture class and one 1.0 credit activity class. The lecture (HPX 177) and activity (177A) classes must be taken during the same semester.\u00a0 Refer to physical activity courses (under course descriptions at the back of this catalog) for a list of activity courses available.<\/p>\n

              Splitting the course is possible and available in the following conditions:<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Student receives a waiver for the activity from AccessAbility services. The student must make an appointment with AccessAbility Services and will be asked to provide documentation that indicates the student will not ever be able to participate in an activity class. The student is required to take the lecture to receive the Health and Wellness competency.<\/li>\n
              2. Student transfers in 1 credit for the activity or 1 credit for lecture. The student is required to complete the unmet portion of the course to receive the Health and Wellness Competency. The student should send a request to the HPX department chair and secretary and include their student ID in the request.<\/li>\n
              3. Varsity athletes who have successfully completed one semester of their sport will receive 1.0 semester hours of physical activity credit.\u00a0 The student is required to take the lecture to receive the Health and Wellness competency. The student should send a request to the HPX department chair and secretary and include their student ID in the request.<\/li>\n
              4. Students majoring in Musical Theater may take the lecture portion of HPX 177 during the same semester as one of the Musical Theater dance classes. This will complete their Health and Wellness competency. The student should send a request to the HPX department chair and secretary and include their student ID in the request.<\/li>\n
              5. Students who served in the military can receive a waiver for the HPX 177 requirement. Please contact the Registrar for this waiver.\u00a0\u00a0The DD-241 form is required.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Because of the physical demands of activity courses offered at Western, students are strongly urged to have a physical examination before registering for these courses. Since part-time students are not covered by university accident insurance, part-time students are strongly urged to carry accident insurance.<\/p>\n


                \n<\/strong>Student Independent Activity\u00a0 (SIA)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

                This is an online activity course that requires permission from the course\u00a0instructor prior to enrolling in the course. The course is run through Blackboard Learn, and students receiving permission to enroll in the SIA will be reserved a spot in the online Fitness for Life lecture course during the same<\/span> semester. The permission request form should be downloaded from the HPX website (http:\/\/wcsu.edu\/hpx\/fitforlifegen.asp<\/a>), completed electronically, and emailed to the instructor of the course in which the student plans to enroll.<\/p>\n

                This course is designed specifically for students who engage in a regular physical activity program within their community. Students may not use the WCSU Recreation Department facility or classes to meet this requirement.\u00a0 Students are expected to accumulate 30 hours of independent exercise, under the supervision of a licensed\/certified fitness coach, instructor, or trainer. Supervisors will be contacted throughout the course to verify physical activity participation. The student will track all activity in a physical activity log. While the supervisor does not need to have direct, constant supervision of the activity, the supervisor should sign the activity log and verify all of the activity participation.<\/p>\n
