Program Educational Objectives
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years after graduation. The B.S. in Exercise and Health Science degree program has adopted the following three PEOs:
- Graduates will establish a health, safety or medical related career during the first four years of after graduating.
- Graduates will follow a career path in their chosen field to competently provide exercise and health science/medical related services appropriate for their field of employment.
- Graduates will act professionally by engaging in career development, recognizing ethical responsibilities, supporting the profession and being an informed and involved member of the community.
Student Outcomes
Student outcomes are statements of what each graduate of the program is expected to achieve at the time of graduation. The curriculum and the Exercise and Health Science courses are structured so each student will have built the knowledge, understanding and skills in all four Student Outcomes. These SOs are aligned with the Performance Domains and Associated Job Tasks established by the American College of Sports Medicine for their Certified Group Exercise Instructor.
Graduates of the Exercise and Health Science program will have the following abilities:
- Have a general working knowledge of the field of Exercise and Health Science.
- Be proficient in using basic laboratory equipment found in a Human Performance Laboratory setting.
- Have effective oral and written communication skills.
- Be able to study and research problems in their field.
