Buhler SUBJECT: Joint Meeting of Legislators, Public and Higher Education The following committees of the Legislature are scheduled to meet Thursday, July 10 from 8:30a.m.-4:30 p.m. in the R. Haze Hunter Conference Center at Southern Utah University: Public Education Appropriations Subcommittee Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee Education Interim Committee The purpose of the meeting is to discuss several public and higher education topics presented by Legislative staff, the Utah State Board of Education, and the State Board of Regents.

A discussion of higher education issues will begin at 11:15 a.m. The agenda is attached. ______________________________________ David L. Buhler Interim Commissioner of Higher Education DLB/STJ Attachment MEMORANDUM July 1, 2008 TO: State Board of Regents FROM: David L. Buhler SUBJECT: Weber State University—Bachelor of Science Degree in Athletic Therapy Issue Weber State University requests approval to offer a Bachelor of Science Degree in Athletic Therapy, effective winter, 2009. The request for this Degree was approved by the institution’s Board of Trustees April 8, 2008. The Regents’ Program Review Committee approved the program to go forward on June 3, 2008. Background The proposed Athletic Training Education Program at Weber State University currently offers two academic tracks—the Clinical Track and the Scientific Track. The Clinical Track is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) and prepares students to sit for the Board of Certification examination to become certified and licensed athletic trainers. The Scientific Track is designed for pre-professional students who plan to attend graduate school in an allied health care field such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant, and/or medicine. Students in the Scientific Track are not eligible to sit for the Board of Certification examination to become certified athletic trainers, but they will be very well prepared to enter a variety of allied health care professional preparation programs. Students in this program will learn how to prevent, evaluate, and manage musculoskeletal injuries and general medical conditions sustained during sports and physical activities. The Scientific Track was approved by the Regents in spring of 2005. In the two years since that approval, approximately100 students enrolled in the program; also, students graduating from this track have experienced a100 percent acceptance rate to professional schools and/or professional employment. Some of these schools are Utah State University, University of Nevada-Las Vegas, Baylor University, Yale University and George Washington University. To be eligible for CAATE accreditation, Weber State cannot offer two academic tracks under the Athletic Training major. Therefore, the Scientific Track has been separated into a distinct degree. This track, as can be seen by the data, is serving students well. Policy Issues All USHE institutions were supportive of this program. At this time, Weber State has a substantial number of students already in the pipeline for the scientific track. The preparation for graduate school and for employment is proven, and the Degree is compatible with Weber’s mission and roles. Commissioner’s Recommendation The Commissioner recommends the Regents approve the request from Weber State University to offer the Bachelor of Science Degree in Athletic Therapy, effective Winter Semester 2009. _______________________________ David L.
