Secondary Education
1. Program
Description
The proposed Health and Physical Education Major, B.S. will
be offered by the Department of Exercise Science, Health and Physical
Education. The program provides both a scientific basis and practical
experience for students seeking opportunities in the health fitness industry or
secondary education. The goal of the core curriculum is to provide students
with a broad scientific, theoretical, and practical foundation in health and
physical education. Career opportunities
include positions as fitness director, wellness director, strength and
conditioning coach, personal trainer, sports coach, or as a secondary education
teacher in Health Education and Physical Education. In addition, all students
will complete either an internship in a clinical or community health setting or
a student teaching practicum.
Upon completion of this program students will be qualified
to take the
2. Rationale
The proposed degree builds on Michigan Tech’s strengths in
the sciences and is consistent with the University’s vision of expanded degree
program offerings to attract new students. The Health and Physical Education
Major degree provides students an entrance into a field that has a broad choice
of career options. According to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor
Statistics, employment of health and fitness workers is expected to “increase
much faster than the average for all occupations through 2014” due to the rapid
growth in the fitness industry. Employment in the health fitness services is
projected to increase 27% or more over the next ten years. An increasing number of individuals are
spending more time and money on fitness clubs, and more businesses are
recognizing the benefits of health and fitness programs. Furthermore, our aging population is getting
more involved with health and fitness programs to stay healthy, physically fit,
and independent. This program will be an
attractive choice for students and will provide employees and professionals for
this growing employment sector.
The proposed Health and Physical Education degree will also
include an option for secondary education. This concentration will specifically
prepare students to become teachers and coaches in a secondary school
system. The concentration is consistent
with the State of
In addition to providing Michigan Tech students with new
opportunities to pursue careers in the health and physical education field, the
current proposal has societal implications.
The American Heart Association recently reported that over 136 million
Americans are classified as overweight.
Even more disturbing is the fact that nearly 9.2 million children and
adolescents are considered overweight or obese.
Our nation is in the midst of a health epidemic, and there is a growing
need to have more individuals educated in the fields of health and physical
education. Obesity is a primary risk factor for the development of both
cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and has been linked to some cancers. With health care costs rising exponentially,
it is clear that new and innovative ways for fighting obesity are
necessary. This includes both education
and research.
Finally, a degree in Health and Physical Education at
In summary, the proposed degree is
consistent Michigan Tech’s vision for expanded degree offerings and will
attract new students interested in a health fitness career or secondary health
and physical education. Our short term
goal is to provide Michigan Tech students with an outstanding undergraduate
education and internship experience in health and physical education. Our long term goal is to attract world-class faculty
that will develop strong research programs addressing health concerns in our
nation, such as obesity, diabetes, etc.
Research collaborations with other departments at Michigan Tech and
nationally recognized institutes will be expected.
3. Related
Programs
The B.S. in Health and Physical Education will draw upon
courses currently taught as part of the existing B.S. programs in Biology and
in Exercise Science. It is also complemented by the Minor in Coaching. Students will have options to concentrate in
either Fitness and Sports Management or Secondary Education. The proposed major
in Health and Physical Education differs from the existing B.S. in Exercise
Science, and these differences are highlighted in Appendix A.
The science of health and physical education provides
excellent opportunities for collaboration between Exercise Science, Biology and
Biomedical Engineering programs, especially at the level of senior design
projects and the Senior Internship of the Health and Physical Education Major.
All students in the proposed major will have to participate in a senior
internship, which will provide them with practical experience in the field of
health and physical education. However,
our students will also be encouraged to work with other departments on senior
design projects. Such relationships are currently being explored with existing
Exercise Science students and the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Developing a working relationship in
undergraduate research in complimentary programs opens collaborative learning
experiences for all involved. There is a
need to approach human problems such as increasing obesity and lack of fitness
from many perspectives, allowing our University to contribute the overall goal
of improving life by fusing knowledge and experiences from sciences and
engineering. The potential interdisciplinary collaboration between departments
will provide Michigan Tech with a technological niche that differentiates our
program from others in the state.

Projected Enrollment
The goal in the first year is to
attract 20 students, with the expectation of 60-80 students enrolled in the
major by the fourth year (steady state).
It is anticipated that approximately 2/3 of the students will be enrolled
in the Fitness and Sports Management concentration due to higher job placement
(expected employment growth of 27% or higher over the next ten years). The remaining 1/3 of the students will be
enrolled in the Secondary Education concentration, where employment
opportunities are still good (expected employment growth of 18-27% over the
next ten years), but not quite as high as the Fitness and Sports Management
concentration. Therefore, it is projected that by the fourth year (steady
state), there will be approximately 40 students enrolled in the Fitness and
Sports Management concentration and 20 students enrolled in the Secondary
Education concentration.
5. Scheduling
Plans
This Health and Physical Education B.S. will be a regular
on-campus program offering. The
anticipated start date is Fall Semester 2007.
6. Curriculum
Design
There are two concentrations for the proposed degree: 1)
Fitness and Sports Management, 2) Secondary Education. In both concentrations, students will meet
the General Education and co-curricular requirements of the University. The total number of credits to earn the
degree in Health and Physical Education – Fitness & Sports Management will
be 128 credits earned as: Core, 77 credits; General Education, 28 credits; Free
Electives, 23 credits. In contrast, the
total number of credits to earn the degree in Health and Physical Education –
Secondary Education will be 132 credits earned as: Core, 70 credits; Teacher
Education, 34 credits; General Education, 28 credits. The detailed differences are shown in

The department GPA will be calculated using grades in
Exercise Science and Biological Sciences (EH and BL designations) and any
cognate courses taken as electives with these designations. As allowed by the
General Education requirements, degrees developed in Physical Education can
apply Physical Education activity classes toward the degree requirements and
receive a letter grade (see MTU General Education Development Task Force;
August 20, 1998).
Students seeking the Health and Physical Education – Fitness
and Sports Management option will be required to take 3 units of
co-curricular. After fulfilling the
University co-curricular requirement, Health and Physical Education majors have
the option to receive credit for physical activity classes (up to 5 credits).
These additional physical activity classes will consist of a mixture of
students taking the class for co-curricular (non-Health & PE majors) and
credit (Health & PE majors). Students taking the class for credit will have
additional assessment requirements (i.e., quizzes, tests, oral presentations,
etc). Students will enroll in EH 4950 –
Special Topics in Physical Activity to accommodate these requirements. The
existing pass/fail system will continue for non-Health & PE majors.
The Department of Biological Sciences has agreed to waive CH
1110 as the prerequisite for BL 2010 for Health & Physical Education
majors. Instead, CH1000 will be taken in preparation for BL 2010.

The Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
tentatively approved a tenure-track faculty line for the Exercise Science
program (September, 2006). The new faculty
will teach EH 4400 and 4420, which will serve both the Exercise Science degree
and the proposed Health and Physical Education degree.
The current proposal requests funding for a lecturer
line. The new lecturer will teach the
following new courses: EH 1100, EH 2200,
EH 3150. In addition, this lecturer will
also be responsible for the Health and Physical Education internships (EH
4800), Exercise Science internships (EH 4900), and academic advising.
Therefore, this lecturer line will not only enable the development of a Health
and Physical Education degree, but it will also provide aid to a fast-growing
Exercise Science major. The first year
Exercise Science program currently has 28 majors, exceeding first year
expectations of 20 students.
EH 2010, EH 2020, and EH 2030 will be taught by existing
instructors within the teaching-load guidelines of our existing charter. These courses will include one hour of
lecture and 2 hours of lab from existing physical activity classes being
offered.
EH 2100, EH 3800, and EH 3820 will be taught by adjunct
faculty and/or existing instructors. We
are requesting some additional stipend for these 6 credits.
Finally, EH 4300, EH 4301, and EH 4790 are three courses
that will need to be taught as we develop the secondary education option for
this degree. The current proposal
requests a tenure-track faculty line in year 3 of the program. This faculty member will teach these final
courses, or other courses that will allow another member of the department to
teach these courses.
8. Library and Other Learning Resources
The Library collection currently supports undergraduate
degree education in the related areas of biological sciences, biomedical
engineering, chemistry and exercise science, with support for degree minors in
coaching. The online journal collection
offers full-text access to 26 journals in anatomy, 69 journals in nutrition and
dietetics, 98 journals in physiology, 170 journals in public health and 32
journals in sports medicine. Databases
such as Medline (PubMed) from the National Library of Medicine, Web of Science,
and Health Reference Center Academic assist in the location of additional
peer-reviewed articles of interest. As a
selective depository for federal government documents, the Library also
provides access to relevant resources from Federal agencies in health and
education. This support is comparable to the resources offered at other
institutions within the state of
The Department of Exercise Science, Health and Physical
Education recently expanded into a baccalaureate granting department. As such,
the library collection needs some updated and expanded book resources for the
baccalaureate level programs. We request an additional book allocation of $500
per year for three years to provide materials in fitness assessment and
training, biomechanics, sport equipment, epidemiology of sports injuries and
illnesses, and other topics covered by new courses.
9. Computing Access Fee
The Department of Exercise Science, Health and Physical Education
has an established computer arrangement with Biological Sciences, Social
Sciences, and Psychology. All student
lab fees feed into one account. Health
and Physical Education students have access to two computer labs, the Exercise
Science computer lab (SDC 234) and the Biological Sciences computer lab (DOW
708). Access to the DOW 708 lab has been granted to allow students computer
access on the main campus. The computational fee will be $235 per
semester.

pending approval of a lecturer position.
This chart does not include the tenure-track faculty line requested in
year 3 of this proposal, a critical component for the Secondary Education
concentration.
11. Available/Needed Equipment
Equipment will be needed for a teaching lab and a research
lab. The Department of Exercise Science,
Health and Physical Education has in place some equipment, including a
metabolic cart, nerve traffic analysis system, Finometer, ECG leads &
amplifiers, tilt table, Grass S48 stimulator, O2 analyzer, CO2 analyzer,
sphygmomanometers, skin fold calipers, and Monark exercise bike. Some of this equipment is strictly for
research, some of it is for both research and teaching. Futhermore, renovation money for the Exercise
Science teaching lab is expected later this year (designated in last year’s
Exercise Science proposal).
There is a need to develop an additional teaching lab
specifically for the strength and conditioning class/personal training aspect
of our degree. Michigan Tech Athletics
department has agreed to work with us on a joint strength and conditioning
facility that will serve the Varsity athletes and will be used in designated
times for Health and Physical Education classes. We are requesting $40,000 for renovations of
the strength and conditioning center when Athletics is prepared to build the
new facility (expected in 2008-09). The
new facility will ultimately free up space on the second floor of the SDC to be
utilized by the Department of Exercise Science, Health and Physical Education
for future office and laboratory space.
12. Program Costs
As specified in Appendix B, additional recurring costs are
associated with the start of this program.
Specifically, an immediate lecturer line is requested to teach core
courses for the new degree and coordinate the internships associated with this
degree and the Exercise Science internships. This position will necessitate funds for
office renovation (there are no available offices, but space has been
identified). In year 3, a tenure-track faculty line is requested to allow for
us to phase in our final classes for the secondary education option of the
proposed degree. Finally, additional adjunct
hiring will be necessary for a few of the new courses proposed.
13. Space
Space is an issue, but can be resolved with start-up
requested in the current proposal. Last
year’s Exercise Science degree included negotiated space for a research laboratory
for the chair and future space for a teaching laboratory. This new teaching laboratory space has now
been negotiated and we are planning on construction this spring. With the
requested start-up of this proposal, office space for the lecturer line can
become part of the renovation.
Additionally, space for the new Exercise Science tenure-track faculty
line is also included in this master renovation plan. We are requesting $25,000 for this
space/office renovation.
14. Policies, Regulations and Rules
15. Accreditation Requirements
The proposed degree does not need to be certified. However, the Secondary Education option will
need to be approved, and we will be working with the State of

Appendix A:
The proposed Health and Physical Education degree is
different from the existing B.S. in Exercise Science. In particular, Exercise Science prepares
students for a pre-professional career in addition to immediate employment
pathways. Some pre-professional careers
that will require additional schooling beyond a B.S. in Exercise Science would
be physical therapy, occupational therapy, medical doctor, physicians
assistant, chiropractor, sports psychologist, dietician, or a college
professor. Therefore, a stronger science
content is necessary for the Exercise Science degree. The Health and Physical Education degree is
designed more for immediate employment opportunities in the health fitness
industry or secondary education.
Examples of career pathways would be a fitness coordinator, wellness
coordinator, personal trainer, strength & conditioning coach, athletic team
coach, or secondary education. For these
positions, the scientific content is still necessary, but not to the extent
required for pre-professional pathways.
Therefore, the proposed Health and Physical Education degree has
distinct differences (highlighted below).
Key differences in Health and Physical Education curriculum
compared to Exercise Science:
Exercise Science
requires 8 credits of College Physics (PH1110, 1111, 1200, 1210)
Exercise Science
requires 9 credits of University Chemistry (CH1110, 1111, 1120)
Exercise Science
requires 4 credits of Calculus for Life Sciences (MA 1135)
The lower physics, chemistry and mathematics requirements
proposed with this degree are consistent with other programs in the state of
Below is a list of courses
required for each specific degree:
