MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Department of Health and Sport Science is to prepare students to be highly
qualified professionals in the health and sport science disciplines.
The Department also believes its mission is to provide educational programs and instruction for the
health fitness needs of all members of the University community.
On the undergraduate level, Exercise Physiology graduates typically pursue MS/PhD programs in
exercise physiology and/or nutritional biochemistry as well as professional doctoral programs in
Physical Therapy, Pharmacy, Chiropractic, Medicine, Dentistry, and Veterinary Medicine. Those not
pursuing graduate school but have the requisite communications skills will be prime candidates for
positions in the pharmaceutical, consumer products, medical equipment, and/or fitness industries.
The Exercise Science Program is designed to prepare students for professional opportunities in areas
of corporate health, "wellness" programs, and health maintenance in a variety of settings. The
Nutrition and Dietetics Programs prepare students for post-baccalaureate dietetic internships or
preprofessional practice programs. The Department prepares educators in Physical Education to
meet the needs of the public and private schools. The Pre-Physical Therapy Program will prepare
students for graduate school in Physical Therapy or other allied professions. The Sport Management
Program is designed to prepare students for professional opportunities in private sports clubs, health
clubs, sports organizations/federations, newspapers, television, sporting goods, and the multitudinous
areas of recreation. On the graduate level, the Department offers the Master of Science Degree in
Education/Exercise Science and the Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree.
In all the Department's activities, there is a constant search for excellence. The long-range goals and
strategies relate to this search in teaching, research, inquiry, programs, recruitment of quality
students, and service.

THEMATIC CLUSTER
Why are thematic clusters required at UD?
� To provide the opportunity for students to discover connections across academic
disciplines.
� To enable students to further explore the question of the Humanities Base, “What does it
mean to be human?” by focusing on a particular theme.
� To help students engage in a richer learning experience by exploring this theme in a
multidisciplinary way.
What is a thematic cluster?
� A cluster is composed of courses that focus on a common theme. Each cluster includes
at least three courses from three different domains of knowledge.
� The six domains of knowledge are:
1. Arts Study
2. Historical Study
3. Philosophy
4. Physical & Life Science
5. Religious Studies
6. Social Science
� Clusters are part of general education. They are not an additional requirement but a
way of organizing some of the general education requirements.
What are important considerations when choosing a cluster?
� Interest in the theme: Individual interest motivates students to raise important questions
and helps connect general education requirements to issues raised in major areas of
study.
� Timing: Select a cluster after completing the Humanities Base. This should be by the
beginning of the sophomore year. Cluster courses should be planned in conjunction with
requirements in the major.
� Compatibility with a major: A student may select any cluster. However, some clusters
are more compatible with specific majors. Consider how a cluster complements a major
area of study and how it is compatible with major requirements. Consult with advisors
and departmental chairpersons.
http://portfolio.udayton.edu/clusters
The University of Dayton provides three special programs that fulfill the Thematic Cluster: The
Chaminade Scholars Program, The Core Program, and The Berry Scholars Program. In addition,
the Honors Program offers the opportunity for an integrative cluster project.

Students - Role and Responsibilities
The University of Dayton catalog states: "The responsibility for meeting the University and State
requirements rests with the students". The student is cautioned to study the course requirements
and to keep accurate count of the semester hours applicable to graduation.
13

ACADEMIC STANDING
The student's academic standing is determined by the cumulative grade point average at the
end of each term.
1. To be in good academic standing, a student must have a cumulative grade point
average of (a) at least 1.7 at the end of the first and second terms, (b) at least 1.8 at the
end of the third term, (c) at least 1.9 at the end of the fourth term, and (d) at least 2.0 at
the end of the fifth and succeeding terms. A block of 12 semester hours of credit is
considered one term for students who attend on a part-time basis. A cumulative grade
point average of at least 2.5 is required for student teaching or internship. A cumulative
grade point average of at least 2.0 is required for graduation; 2.5 in the School of
Education and Allied Professions. Students who transfer into the University are expected
to maintain a 2.0 cumulative point average to remain in good standing.
2. Any student who has a term point average of less than 1.0, regardless of cumulative
grade point average, will be dismissed. The Registrar's Office will post the statement
"Academic Dismissal" on the student's permanent record.
3. A cumulative grade point average below the one required will place the student on
academic probation. The student's academic dean will notify the student of his or her
probationary status. A student on probation must follow a restricted academic program
not to exceed l5 semester hours.
4. It is the responsibility of any student not in good standing (on probation) to complete an
academic contract with the dean for the purpose of determining the nature and the
limitations of the student's future activities.
5. Beginning with students entering Fall 1986, only six (6) semester hours of workshop credit
will be permitted to be counted toward graduation requirements in any undergraduate
program in the department.

Introduction
PROFESSIONAL ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES
Revised June 1998
Merely attending classes and meeting course requirements will not adequately prepare
students to enter the demanding and competitive profession of health and sport science. The
University of Dayton’s Department of Health and Sport Science has as its goal the development
of highly-qualified health and sport science majors. To achieve this goal, the Department
requires that its majors not only meet their state, School of Education and Allied Professions, and
program requirements, but also engage in a number of out-of-class activities as well.
Exercise Physiology majors will be required to participate in various activities that are
representative of the experience they may encounter in the field, or that are of enriching
and/or of a professional nature. These activities should supplement the course offerings and
result in a more highly competent individual. The point system outlined has been devised by the
Department and the Student Advisory Board as a means of suggesting a variety of experiences
the student could participate in during their undergraduate years. The specifics of the system
are contained in the following pages. The points must be spread out in at least three different
area categories.
All students are urged to study this policy and exercise their own initiative in devising a plan by
which to secure the needed points. Each student must assume the responsibility of reporting his
points, as soon as earned, to his/her respective advisor. Use the “Enrichment Point Activities
Report” form that may be obtained from the HSS office.
Compiling Points
1. Students transferring from other majors will be required to earn points on a pro-rated
basis. 10 points shall be required for graduation if a student transfers after four semesters
(6 quarters).
2. There are five categories of activities. The student’s TOTAL OF TWENTY (20) POINTS MUST
HAVE BEEN OBTAINED FROM AT LEAST THREE CATEGORIES.
3. Transfer students shall be required to engage in no more than two categories if they
have 10 or less points needed to fulfill their point requirements. Those who have 11 or
more points to accumulate shall engage in at least three categories.
4. Activities prior to enrollment as a first-year student in college are not acceptable.
6. It shall be the student’s responsibility to report the points and to ascertain the accuracy
of the record with his/her advisor. (Should be done during counseling or registration.)
CREDIT FOR POINTS WILL BE VOID IF REPORTED OVER ONE SEMESTER AFTER EXPERIENCE.
7. Work required for course assignments will not be acceptable.
8. Resumes – Students should maintain a file (begun immediately in the first year) of school
and out-of-school experiences related to their major of study. This will help immeasurably
in developing a sound resume during one’s senior year.

CLASS ATTENDANCE
It is desirable for students to attend all classes. Listening to the lectures of instructors and being
involved in classroom discussions should (1) provide guidelines and goals in the course of study,
thus lending direction to the study activities of the student; (2) provide instances of the way of
thinking and methodology employed by an academic discipline in formulating and solving
problems; (3) stimulate an awareness of and interest in the course topics beyond the levels
acquired by textbook reading. Because textbook material is generally beneath the level of the
current state of knowledge, instructors acquaint the student with new ideas and integrate this
material into the course topics.
Policy
For the above reasons, students are expected to attend all classes. Indeed, academic
departments may authorize a legitimate attendance requirement for some courses (seminars,
laboratories, performance courses, clinical field-based courses and the like). If attendance or
class participation is a component in determining the final grades in a course, the syllabus for
the course must announce that fact and the relative weight of attendance or participation.
Each student is responsible for clearly understanding and abiding by each instructor’s
attendance policy.
Students are responsible for being aware of the proceedings and material covered in each
class period. Students must attend all announced tests and submit assigned written work on the
date set by the instructor; it is recommended that the instructor announce such tests and
assignments at least a week in advance. The action taken as a consequence of missing a test
or an assignment will be determined by the instructor and will be based on a consideration of
the individual circumstances involved.
The handling of tardiness is left to the discretion of the instructor.
18

COURSE SYLLABI
Students are entitled to know the first day of class what the objectives are for a course, what
assignments are due, etc. Consequently, the Department of Health and Sport Science requires
each professor to provide students with a syllabus which indicates:
1. The catalog description.
2. The course objectives--identified according to knowledge.
3. Course topics.
4. Instructional procedure to be followed in the class.
5. Student evaluation criteria (indicating how grades will be determined).
6. The clinical experiences associated with the class.
7. The field-based experiences associated with the class.
8. The text to be used with the class.
In addition, the professor should indicate the hours when he or she is available to meet with
students.
If this information is not available or if the student wishes clarification, he or she should speak
with the professor. It is best to have these matters clarified by the end of the first week of class
so that the student and faculty member understand what is to occur during the semester.

DEPARTMENT COMMITTEES
The Department has a variety of committees on which students may serve. These committees
provide students the opportunity to represent their fellow classmates in dealing with policies,
programs, and courses.
1. The Department's Advisory Committee is composed of teachers, administrators, hospital
staff, agency personnel, students, citizens, and non-departmental faculty.
2. The School of Education and Allied Profession's Undergraduate Academic Affairs
Committee (UAAC) has the responsibility of establishing the basic operating policies for
the School. One student from the Department of Health and Sport Science serves on the
UAAC.
Students interested in serving on either committee should contact the Department Chair.

EVALUATION OF COURSES, PROFESSORS, AND PROGRAMS
The Department of Health and Sport Science recognizes that it is important for students to
responsibly evaluate courses and teachers. The evaluations provide useful information which
can be used to improve courses, policies, and practices. Accordingly, course evaluations shall
be a mandatory part of all classes in the department. At the end of each course, each student
will complete an on-line or in-class evaluation for each course. All responses will be anonymous,
and results will be shared with each instructor.
The University administration requires that the Department evaluate itself every year. These
evaluations are used in a variety of ways depending on their purpose and level. On the one
hand, it may be a professor reviewing a course evaluation with a colleague or the Department
Chair to identify ways to improve a course. On the other hand, it may be the entire
Department reviewing evaluations to make policy or program changes. Whatever the level,
evaluation needs to be continuous and systematic.
