Sharon Dinkel Uhlig, 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.
A choice of three areas of emphasis is
included in the undergraduate
curriculum Athletic Training; Exercise
Science which includes Applied and
Graduate Preparation options; and Health Studies which includes Health
Enhancement and Health Promotion
options. Students complete
requirements for one or more of the
options/emphases consistent with their
professional aspirations.
The goal of the Athletic Training
emphasis is to prepare competent
entry-level athletic trainers for
employment in ducational and clinical
settings or post-graduate study. The
Athletic Training curriculum is designed
to help students develop proficiency in
the prevention, recognition, evaluation,
management, treatment, and
rehabilitation of athletic injuries.
Successful graduates should possess the
knowledge and skills to qualify tor the
National Athletic Trainer's Association
certification.
The Exercise Science emphasis is
designed to provide students with an in-depth biological and social science
background. The Applied 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
apply for admission to the Graduate
Preparation option which prepares
students for post-baccalaureate study in
human movement and related sciences.
Once admitted students complete a
program representative of their
individual interests while completing a
broad-based scientific core of human
movement study. Students in the
Graduate Preparation option must
maintain a minimum grade point average
and complete a senior project.
The Health Studies emphasis prepares
students to teach health behaviors and to
facilitate their adoption in the school or
community. Students successfully
completing the Health Enhancement
option should meet state certification
standards for teaching Health
Enhancement in K-12 environments.
Students successfully completing the
Health Promotion option 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) ability to design,
conduct, and report research in a
scholarly fashion, 5) investigative skills
to promote independent pursuit of
learning beyond the confines of
curricular requirements, and 6) personal
characteristics, sense of responsiblity,
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
Refer to graduation requirements listed
previously in the catalog. See index.
Students must fulfill the requirements
listed below. Upper-division students
must maintain a cumulative grade point
average of 2.00 to continue as majors in
the department. The minimum grade
point average required for Graduate
Preparation students is 2.75. 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 have a retake. If the
retake is passed, the student receives a
grade of 70% on the exam. If the retake
is failed, the student is required to repeat
the entire course at the next offering and
is ineligible to register for higher level
Physical Therapy courses. If a student is
retaking a course the second time, the
retake policy is also in force; however,
failure on a retake in a repeated Physical
Therapy course will result in dismissal
from the Athletic Training program. All
such actions can be applealed to the
faculty and to the dean.
All HHP majors and minors must
enroll in the appropriate number of HHP
200-225 courses to satisfy the
professional activity requirements. HHP
100-179 will not satisfy the requirement
except as noted in the Health
Enhancement option. To remain
enrolled in professional activities
200-225, students must meet the
minimum departmental proficiency level
in both skill and knowledge of the
activity.
A 2.75 grade point average is required
to qualify for student teaching. 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 Entt 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 Emphasis
The Athletic Training curriculum is
divided into a pre-professional program
lasting 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
professional program is limited.
Students may apply for admission into
the professional program by obtaining an
application from the Athletic Training
Program Director. This application must
be submitted with a written statement of
purpose and three letters of
recommendation. The following criteria
must be met:
- Completion of all required
pre-professional course work.
- Attainment of a minimum overall
grade point average of 2.75.
- Attainment of a minimum grade of
C in all required courses, including
prerequisites.
Admission Policies for Exercise Science-Graduate Preparation Option
The Exercise Science emphasis is
divided into two options, Applied and
Graduate Preparation. The Graduate
Preparation option has been developed
specifically for those students who wish
to use their undergraduate degree to
better prepare them for graduate studies
in Exercise Science or a related field.
Students may apply for admission into
the Graduate Preparation option by
obtaining an application from the
department office. This application may
be submitted following the completion
of no less than 45 semester hours and
successful completion (grade average of
at least 2.75) of the following courses or
their transferred equivalents: Comm
111A; Phys 121N; Chem 151N, 152N;
Biol 212N, 213N; For 220; Math 241
and its prerequisite; and HHP 226, 260,
261, 262. The following must be
submitted with the application:
- Letter of application expressing
intended goals and direction for future
studies in the Exercise Sciences.
- Two letters/checklist of support
(one from an HHP faculty member and
one from a non-HHP faculty member).
Student admissions will be considered
prior to both the autumn and spring
semesters. Meeting minimum eligibility
requirements does not necessarily assure
acceptance. Once admitted, students
must maintain a minimum grade point
average of 2.75 each semester in order to
continue in the program. Students who
interrupt their program for more than
two semesters will be placed on inactive
status and must requests reactivation in
order to resume their studies.
