4. Rationale
for creation, revision, or deletion:
The College of Health and Nursing Sciences is an interdisciplinary, professional, service-oriented college with four health and fitness related departments (Health and Exercise Sciences, Medical Technology, Nursing, Nutrition and Dietetics) and a Division of Special Programs. Undergraduate majors in the college seek employment and career opportunities in healthcare-related fields. Some students, however, desire the health-focused curriculum but prefer not to specialize in the existing majors; others are unwilling or unable to continue in their chosen major. With the current global healthcare crisis requiring a need for educated, professional healthcare providers, we believe it will be both beneficial and economically far-sighted to offer undergraduate students a major and a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Studies.
5. Summary
of program:
Please
see attached.
Revision of the Existing Major of Physical Education Studies to
Health Studies Major in the College of Health and Nursing Sciences
WHEREAS there is currently a documented nationwide shortage of adequately
educated health care professionals, and
WHEREAS there are undergraduate students at the University of Delaware
interested generally in both an education and career opportunities
in health care services, and
WHEREAS students in one of the existing majors in the College of Health and Nursing Sciences may be unable or unwilling to continue in their
admitted major but still seek a health-related degree, be it therefore
RESOLVED that the Physical Education Studies major be revised and be offered by the College of Health and Nursing Sciences as the Health Studies major and, be it further
RESOLVED that the new major will be evaluated in a timely manner and revised as necessary.
