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; Applied Health
Science; and Health Studies. Students complete requirements for
one or more of the options 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. and prepares
students for post-baccalaureate study in exercise physiology and
related sciences.
The Applied Health Science option prepares students for professional
certification and employment in exercise and fitness-related fields.
Successful graduates of this option 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. Students should be prepared to assess
health needs, plan, implement and evaluate health promotion activities
in a variety of settings.
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.
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.

by a Review Board consisting of the ATEP director and clinical
instructors as well as other professionals. Formal notification
of admission to the professional ATEP is made in writing and sent
to the candidate prior to the preregistration period for autumn
semester.
Candidates who are not admitted to the ATEP receive written notification
of this decision. Some students are selected as alternates and
if vacancies become available prior to autumn semester, these
students are informed. All qualified candidates might not be admitted
to the professional ATEP due to the limited number of clinical
openings.
