Proposal:
|
The Department of Kinesiology proposes the addition of a new degree concentration in the area of Physical Activity for the School of Public Health's accredited Masters of Public Health (MPH) degree. This will be the sixth such concentration in the school. As such, the core curriculum of the MPH degree is not different for this proposed concentration, but the specific required cognate courses and elective requirements are unique to physical activity. A total of four new courses are simultaneously submitted through VPAC as part of this proposal: two cognate courses (KNES601, KNES602); an internship course (KNES785); and a capstone project course (KNES786). The Dean of the school supports this new
concentration and the SPH Graduate Programs Committee has discussed the proposal and confirmed that the approximately 20 students maximum per year can be accommodated in the existing core course offerings. One new faculty member will be hired in Kinesiology to assist with the administration of the program (see the Dean's letter of support); other course loads will be covered by existing faculty. No impact on library or other resources is anticipated. |
