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.
