HERS 364 - Practicum in Movement Science

(1-5 S.H.)

Practicum experience is designed for student site visits to a research-oriented university, hospital or clinic, or private business that performs movement science-related measurements. On-site visits may involve shadowing a movement science professional. Additionally, students are required to attend at least one movement science professional meeting or workshop. Specific goals and objectives of the practicum experience will be in writing and agreed upon by the student, faculty advisor, and the contact at the organization where site visits are to be made. The variable credit is determined by the student and advisor based on the requirements of the graduate school to which they intend to apply.

Effective Spring 2014: Practicum experience is designed for student site visits to a research-oriented university, hospital or clinic, or a private business that performs movement science-related measurements. On-site visits may involve shadowing a movement science professional. Students are also required to attend at least one movement science professional meeting or workshop. Additionally, students will develop an action plan that specifies how and when they will meet the prerequisites of their chosen graduate school program of study. Prerequisites: HERS 314 - Anatomical Kinesiology , △ HERS 340 - Physiology of Exercise , HERS 370 - Mechanical Kinesiology , and junior academic standing.

Effective Spring 2014: Prerequisites: Declared Movement Science Major and Sophomore academic standing. Grade only. Offered each semester.
