6.00 Credits
Interdisciplinary professional experience at an advanced level for juniors or seniors with substantial academic experience in environmental studies. With faculty sponsorship and Environmental Studies Program approval, students may extend their educational experience in environmentally related interdisciplinary areas such as environmental consulting, environmental advocacy, environmental law, and environmental outreach. The intern must produce a research paper related to the area of the internship, on a topic approved by the faculty sponsor and the on-site supervisor. Only three semester hours of ES399, 371, or 372 may count toward the major or minor.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the scientific basis of physical activity. Emphasis is placed upon the study of the physiological change and adaptations that occur as a result of the stress of exercise. Students will be active participants in laboratory experiments that examine the body's response to exercise. Three hours of lecture, two hours of laboratory per week. (Fulfills natural sciences requirement.) P. Fehling or P. Arciero
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the academic study of sport and the use of sociological, psychological, historical, and philosophical tools for the study of critical issues surrounding the cultural phenomenon of sport. (Fulfills social sciences requirement.) J. Segrave
-
3.00 Credits
Students will actively study the structure and function of the human body. Students will acquire an understanding of fundamental principles of biochemistry, cell biology, and histology, as well as the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Students will explore the interdependence of structure and function at both the cellular and system level. Three hours of lecture, two hours of laboratory a week. (Fulfills natural sciences requirement.) T.H. Reynolds, D. Smith
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of the study of the structure and function of the human body. Students will study the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine, immune, and reproductive systems. Emphasis is placed on understanding the interrelationships among the body systems and their role in maintaining homeostasis. Three hours of lecture, two hours of lab a week. Prerequisites: EX126. (Fulfills natural sciences requirement.) T.H. Reynolds, D. Smith
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the field of sports medicine in general and athletic training in particular. Through lectures and labs students will learn basic evaluation, management, and prevention of athletic injuries as well as current methods of sports conditioning. Prerequisite: EX126, 127, or permission of instructor. Not for liberal arts credit. M. Garcia or J. Fichera
-
4.00 Credits
Exploration of the theoretical and applied aspects of exercise testing and exercise prescription. Students will study the role of exercise testing in predicting disease, assessing fitness level, and prescribing exercise programs. Attention will be given to the development of appropriate exercise prescriptions to various populations. Prerequisites: EX111 and CPR certification. Not for liberal arts credit. P. Fehling
-
4.00 Credits
This course explores the theoretical and applied aspects of human nutrition. Particular emphasis will be placed on the metabolism of the macro and micro nutrients and the nutrient requirements of various populations (young and old; sedentary and active; healthy and unhealthy). The laboratory component of this course will focus on laboratory procedures used to quantify body composition, energy expenditure, and nutrient intake and clinical tests to assess nutritional adequacy and health status. The goals of this course are to describe and calculate nutritional requirements, learn validated techniques of body composition analysis, energy expenditure, nutritional intake, and clinical and biochemical assessment using a human model. Applying the nutrition principles and laboratory techniques learned in the course will be useful in assessing nutritional adequacy of various populations-including children and adults, sedentary and active and healthy and diseased individuals. Prerequisites: CH105 and CH106 or CH107H , and EX111. Not for liberal arts credit. P. Arciero
-
3.00 Credits
An internship opportunity for students whose curricular foundations and cocurricular experience have prepared them for professional work related to the major field. With faculty sponsorship and department approval, students may extend their educational experience into such areas as sports medicine, physical therapy, and related fields. Prerequisite: CPR certification may be required depending upon the nature of the internship. Non-liberal arts. Must be taken S/U.
-
4.00 Credits
Exploration of the physiological changes in the human body that occur during physical activity as well as the structural and physiological adaptations that occur as a result of a training program. Students will be active participants in laboratories that investigate the physiological mechanisms responsible for the exercise response and training adaptations. Prerequisites: EX111, 126, 127, 241, and CPR certification. Three hours of lecture, three hours of lab. D. Smith, P. Fehling, P. Arciero
