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

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 Public Health degree is one of three undergraduate degree programs offered in the HPX Department. The other degree programs include a Bachelor of Science in Health Education, PreK \u2013 12, and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Health and Wellness Management (available starting Spring 2024). All programs are 120 credits and include major requirements (including field-based experience), general education requirements, and free electives. Students can choose one of the following four options in the Public Health B.S. degree program: Allied Health Professions, Community Health, Holistic and Integrative Health, and Fitness and Wellness. Following the completion of a B.S. in Public Health, students are prepared to sit for the national Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) examination. After successful completion of the Health Education PreK-12 degree program and achieving a passing score on the PRAXIS II Health Education Exam, students receive a B.S. in Health Education and are eligible for the Initial Educator Certificate in Health Education (#043) in Connecticut.<\/p>\n

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

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


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


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

            Certification Program for PK-12
            \n<\/em>The teacher education preparation programs at Western Connecticut State University are rigorous and not all candidates applying for professional program admission are accepted. A GPA of 3.0 or higher must be maintained in order to be accepted into all professional education programs as candidates for initial teacher certification. While students may gain acceptance to the university, those interested in obtaining Connecticut teacher certification (elementary, secondary, music, and health education) must also file a separate application for professional program acceptance usually during the second semester of their junior year.<\/p>\n

            Course Restrictions<\/span><\/p>\n

            For a complete list of prerequisites, co-requisites and other restrictions for all courses, please consult the Course Description section of this catalog.<\/p>\n

            Application And Submission Process For Professional Program Acceptance<\/span><\/p>\n

            Applications for professional program acceptance can be obtained at the department of Health Promotion and Exercise Sciences (BR 230). Before the process of screening for professional program acceptance, applications must be filed with the School Health Coordinator of the Health Promotion and Exercise Sciences department.<\/p>\n

            Criteria For Professional Program Acceptance<\/span><\/p>\n

            Candidates seeking admission to any of Western Connecticut State University’s teacher education certification programs must have completed and met the following criteria. The following deadline dates must be met for candidates applying for professional teacher education program acceptance. The deadline date for fall semester admittance into a Professional Teacher Education Program is 12 noon on April 1.

              Program Goals<\/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

                The Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness Management will be offered starting in the Spring of 2024. The B.S. in Health and Wellness Management is an interdisciplinary degree with a dual focus in health\/wellness and in business management\/administration. It incorporates the development of skills in these areas with a strong foundation in psychology and communication methods. A health and wellness management degree puts students in a position to build a career as leaders in the health and wellness industry. Students will graduate prepared to pursue positions in healthcare facilities, group medical practices, parks and recreation, wellness centers and corporations, and other for profit and non-profit wellness settings. They may also be prepared to start their own health and wellness venture at some time in the future. Students will gain the skills necessary to plan, promote, direct, and coordinate the business activities of health and wellness events, programs, and organizations.<\/p>\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
