Gene Burns, Chair
Within the liberal arts tradition of The University of Montana and
the mission of the School of Education, the Department of Health and
Human Performance engages in professional education, scholarly activity,
and meaningful public service. The department emphasizes all dimensions
of health and human movement to enhance the longevity and quality
of life.
The undergraduate curriculum in health and human performance at The
University of Montana prepares graduates to be competent entry level
professionals in health and human performance related occupations
or candidates for advanced study in related disciplines. Development
of the following is considered essential in achieving those outcomes:
1) knowledge of the scope of the profession, 2) basic
and professional skills germane to effective practice as a health
and human performance professional or successful pursuit of advanced
studies, 3) higher order thinking skills which increase the
students' involvement in their own learning and promote a lifelong
quest for knowledge, 4) knowledge of the multiple dimensions
of health, and possession of health promotion skills applicable in
a variety of settings, 5) understanding of the role played
by health and human performance professionals, a sense of responsibility,
personal attributes, and professional behaviors requisite for effective
functioning within that role, and 6) respect for the uniqueness
and dignity of self and others.
HHP majors choose from one of the following options in the undergraduate
curriculum: Athletic Training; Exercise Science which includes Applied
and Graduate Preparation emphases; and Health Studies which includes
Health Enhancement and Health Promotion emphases. Students complete
requirements for one or more of the options/emphases consistent with
their professional aspirations.
The goal of the Athletic Training option is to prepare competent entry
level athletic trainers for employment in educational and clinical
settings or post graduate study. The Athletic Training curriculum
is designed to help students develop proficiency in the acute care
of injuries/illnesses, risk management and injury prevention, psychosocial
intervention and referral, therapeutic exercise, pharmacology, pathology
of injuries/illnesses, health care administration, general medical
conditions and disabilities, assessment and evaluation, professional
development and responsibilities, and nutritional aspects. Successful
graduates should possess the knowledge and skills to qualify tor the
National Athletic Trainer's Association Board of Certification.
The Exercise Science option is designed to provide students with an
in-depth biological and social science background. The Applied emphasis
prepares students for professional certification and employment in
exercise and fitness-related fields. Successful graduates of this
emphasis should possess the knowledge and skills to qualify for the
American College of Sports Medicine Health/Fitness instructor certification
or the National Strength Conditioning Association Certified Strength
and Conditioning Specialist certification, or equivalent. The Graduate
Preparation emphasis prepares students for post-baccalaureate study
in exercise physiology and related sciences.
The Health Studies option prepares students to teach health behaviors
and to facilitate their adoption in the school or community. Students
successfully completing the Health Enhancement emphasis should meet
state certification standards for teaching Health Enhancement in K-12
environments. Students successfully completing the Health Promotion
emphasis should be prepared to assess health needs, plan, implement
and evaluate Health Promotion activities in a variety of settings.
The graduate curriculum in Health and Human Performance at The University
of Montana prepares post graduates to become effective health and
human performance professionals or competitive candidates for advanced
study in related disciplines through a comprehensive program of study
and guided research. Development of the following is considered essential
in achieving a graduate degree: 1) oral and written communication,
2) understanding of current research, 3) familiarity
with the literature in one's chosen specialization, 4) appropriate
technological skills, 5) ability to design, conduct, and report
research in a scholarly fashion, 6) investigative skills to
promote independent pursuit of learning beyond the confines of curricular
requirements, and 7) personal characteristics, sense of responsibility,
and professional behaviors requisite for effective functioning as
an advanced health and human performance professional. Graduate options
include Exercise and Performance Psychology, Exercise Science, and
Health Promotion. For more information regarding the department's
graduate program, refer to The University of Montana Graduate Programs
and Admissions catalog.
The department also provides a large activity program (HHP 100 179)
which includes instruction in a wide variety of individual, team,
recreational, and fitness activities. Goals of this program include
helping students: 1) develop and maintain long term health
related fitness, 2) develop motor performance skills that facilitate
regular and continuous participation in physical activity, and 3)
develop the adult "inner athlete" who continually strives
to reach optimal potential through involvement in challenging endeavors.
Students may elect to apply up to four credits from HHP 100-179 toward
a baccalaureate degree.
Special Degree Requirements back
to top
Refer to graduation requirements listed previously in the catalog.
See index.
Students must fulfill the requirements listed below. Students must
maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.25 to continue as majors
in the department. Failure to maintain the minimum grade point average
will result in probation for the first semester below, and suspension
from enrolling in 300-400-level courses after the probationary semester
until the cumulative grade point average is raised to or above the
2.25 minimum. All HHP majors and minors must earn a minimum grade
of a C in all required courses, including prerequisites. Courses specifically
listed in this catalog as requirements for Health and Human Performance
majors must be taken for a traditional letter grade. This includes
courses in HHP and out of department courses.
Athletic Training students taking classes in the Professional Physical
Therapy Program must achieve a C (70%) on all Physical Therapy examinations.
If students score below 70% on an exam, they have the opportunity
to retake that exam. If the retake is passed, the student receives
a grade of 70% on the exam. If an Athletic Training student receives
less than a C on any course, the student will be placed on academic
probation and will have one year to repeat it with the test retake
policy in place. If the student receives less than a C after repeating
the course the student will be dismissed from the program. All such
actions can be appealed to the faculty and to the dean.
Admission Policies for Health Enhancement Emphasis
The Health Enhancement emphasis is designed for individuals who wish
to teach in the public school system. Application for admission to
the School of Education must be made. The number of students admitted
into the program is limited. Application is made no sooner than after
the completion of 30 hours of course work. A cumulative GPA of 2.75
is necessary for application.
To successfully complete the program in Health Enhancement, a student
must receive a grade of C or above in every course in the following
areas: teaching major and minor, professional education courses, a
drug abuse course, PSYC 100S, ENEX 101, and C&I 427 or ENT 440.
None of these courses may be taken as pass/not pass except where that
is the only grade available.
Admission Policies for Professional Athletic Training
Option back to top
The Athletic Training curriculum is divided into a pre professional
program lasting approximately two to three years and a professional
program during the final two years. The professional program requires
a practicum and sequential courses; therefore, students must enter
the program during autumn semester. The number of students admitted
into the program is limited.
Students may apply for admission into the professional program by
obtaining an application from the Athletic Training Program Director.
The following criteria must be met:
1. Completion
of all pre professional course work. (A student may be enrolled
in pre-professional courses at the time of application.)
2. Completion of all pre-professional requirements.
3. Attainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.75.
4. Attainment of a minimum grade of C in all required courses.
