102 Exercise and Sport Science School of Health and Human Performance Purpose Statement The Department of Exercise and Sport Science seeks to: 1. Provide a program that will promote the physical, intellec- tual, and spiritual development of each individual through the medium of physical activity. 2. Develop an awareness of the Christian’s stewardship responsibility with regard to the care and use of the body. 3. Provide experiences and instruction that will help develop Christ-like attitudes and actions in and through sports, games, self-testing activities, aquatics, and lifetime recreational pursuits. 4. Prepare students for careers in exercise science, teaching physical education or health, sport management, coach- ing, recreation, health promotion, or other related fields. Personal Requirements Students planning to pursue a major within the Department of Exercise and Sport Science are best prepared in high school by taking a college preparatory curriculum. Students planning to pursue a multi-age physical education major should take as many physical education courses as possible. Those consider- ing majors in exercise science should take biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics courses at least through Algebra II. Business courses such as accounting and economics are good preparation for students considering a major in sport manage- ment. Department Requirements Once students declare a major within the Department of Exercise and Sport Science, they are expected to maintain a high level of personal physical fitness. A semi-annual 1 1/2 mile run is used to evaluate the status of the student’s fitness.
