Master of Science Degree in Health and Human Performance MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE IN HEALTH AND HUMAN PERFORMANCE UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTHWEST Overview: Welcome to the Department of Education. Thank you for your interest in the Master of Science in Health and Human Performance at the University of the Southwest. We have created an online one year thirty three (33) hour fast-track graduate program to accommodate interested individuals with a desire to work in health care. We provide a quality learning environment through lecture, lab, practical experience, and internships to prepare our students for a career as a health care professional. Our program allows the flexibility for interested students to enter during any time of the academic year except summers. Thanks for your interest in our department. Program Description Two of the most notable issues in society today are the provisions of health care and the rising concern with the epidemic of obesity. Many more Americans are becoming aware of their health and its relationship to the quality of life with health and aging. Although they may understand the importance of diet and exercise in maintaining good health, they often are uneducated or untrained as to proper exercise techniques and how to ensure proper nutrition. Hence, there is an increasing demand for trained health care professionals who can serve the general public by raising awareness and providing quality instruction, both of which may help reduce health care costs and assist individuals in improving and maintaining their health. The Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Health and Human Performance will develop trained professionals. The coursework has been designed to allow students to develop and demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and abilities in the areas of clinical evaluation, fitness assessment, nutrition, and exercise prescription. As student’s progress through the program they will have opportunities to work with normal, healthy individuals, active ager’s, cardiac patients, and centenarians and will gain experience working with populations with chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiac conditions, to enable them to understand and assist in their treatment. In developing this program, the department has carefully studied the needs of current health care professionals, teachers, coaches, corporate wellness employees, and assistants in athletic programs. Graduates of the program will be able to pursue advanced career opportunities such as: Sub-disciplines: Exercise Physiology, Sport History, Motor Development, Sport Pedagogy, Motor Learning, Sports Medicine (Athletic Training, Pre-PT), Biomechanics, Sport Philosophy, Sport Psychology, Sport Sociology, Sport Management, Adapted Physical Education, Health Education, Physical Education, Leisure, and Recreation. Careers College Professor Exercise Physiologist Cardiac Rehabilitation Specialist Biomechanist Sport Psychologist City Sports Recreation Director Strength and Conditioning Coach Personal Fitness Trainer Sports Official Athletic Trainer Recreation Leader Physical Education Teacher Health Education Teacher Athletic Coach Athletic Director Physical Education Administrator Public Health Education Sports Facilities Manager Aquatics Specialist Choreographer Camp Director Sports Information Director Recreation and Intramural Director Therapeutic Recreation Specialist or continue towards their doctorate in their related field. Admission Requirements Applicants must possess a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 on a 4.00 scale. An applicant with a GPA slightly below 3.00 may, with permission of the program chair, enter the program on probation; he or she must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.00 in the graduate curriculum to continue. Other applicants with an undergraduate GPA slightly below 3.00 but who have earned at least a 3.00 GPA in six or more credit hours of graduate work may be admitted unconditionally. All applicants must have completed a minimum of 24 credit hours of coursework in kinesiology; at least half of those credit hours must be in upper-division courses, and it is strongly recommended that every applicant has completed eight credit hours (two courses) in human anatomy and human physiology. Applicants who do not meet these requirements, or whose degrees are not in the field of kinesiology, may be admitted conditionally. Applicants who are international students must have a minimum score of 550 or the equivalent on the TOEFL [a minimum TOEFL of 550 (paper-based), 213 (computer based), or 79 (Internet based)], or the equivalent on another appropriate examination, such as the IELTS. Admission Procedure The application for admission to the Master of Science in Health and Human Performance may be obtained from the Office of Graduate Admissions. Graduation Requirements Students must maintain a minimum 3.00 GPA throughout program. All degree requirements must be completed within six years of matriculation. Every student must pass a comprehensive exam prior to enrolling in the advanced practicum or internship. Program Length Courses in the Master of Science in Health and Human Performance are offered in eight-week- long online sessions. Assume satisfactory progress, the entire program can be completed in one academic year (two regular semesters plus summer). Full time graduate students normally take two courses each session, and complete 12 credit hours each semester, thus completing 24 credit hours within two semesters. Immediately following completion of the first 24 credit hours, all students must take and pass a comprehensive exam, thereby qualifying them to enroll in the advanced practicum or internship (KES 5009) during that following summer, thereby completing the remaining nine credit hours of coursework required for the degree. A suggested sequence of course completion is available on request from the department. Graduate students who elect to enroll in less than a full time course load will, of course, take longer to complete the program. Credentials for Faculty Each faculty member will hold an earned doctorate from an accredited university and who is currently teaching as a full-time or adjunct status. The following faculty have agreed to teach in the newly designed degree program.

An introductory chapter that provides an overarching introduction to the thesis and the manuscript or manuscript(s) contained therein ! The body of the thesis that contains one or more more manuscript-style chapters that describe the results of your work. ! A concluding chapter that provides a summary of the significance of the thesis as a whole. In keeping with the theme of the environmental science program, you must take your work and put the results into a broader ‘environmentalcontext, focusing on the applied significance and extension of your work. ! Appendix or appendices of supplementary information (if necessary). Further details on the specific structure of each of these sections, as well as some general information on the copyright and other ownership issues associated with the thesis are provided in this document. Read these guidelines over thoroughly before beginning the construction of your thesis: it may save you a considerable amount of revision later.
