GENERAL INFORMATION
The Department of Exercise and Sport
Science embraces an academic body of knowledge focused on the causes and consequences of physical activity, and is grounded in the biological, psychological, physical, and social sciences. This applied discipline is concerned with the effect of physical activity and sport on the health and fitness of people and society. Graduates are knowledgeable of the physiological, anatomical, psychological, and social aspects of human movement.
Graduate programs train professionals and scientists to work in many aspects of public health and exercise science. In the Department of Exercise and Sport Science, students may pursue
Master of Science and Doctor of
Philosophy degrees with a concentration in biomechanics, exercise physiology, movement studies in disability, sport pedagogy, sport and exercise psychology, and sports medicine.
The department supports the
IMPACT program (Individualized
Movement and Physical Activity for
Children Today), which provides specialized physical activity programs for children and youth.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY COURSES
The Physical Activity Course Program
(PAC) is an elective, academic-credit program designed to provide OSU students with the opportunity to learn and engage in a wide variety of physical activities, with the goal of promoting health and lifelong participation in physical activity. Students may take any number of PAC credits, but only 11 credits may be counted toward graduation. Courses may be repeated for credit and a grade. There is a PAC fee for each class, and some courses have additional fees. All fees are listed in the online
Schedule of Classes . Student accounts are billed upon registration. Refunds of the
PAC fee are automatic upon dropping or withdrawing from the course and follow university policies as listed in the
Schedule of Classes . Some additional fees are refunded through the PAC Office
(Langton 123). Social dance classes are listed with a men’s a women’s section in order help balance the number of students in the traditional lead and follow roles within a the same class.
UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES

ATHLETIC TRAINING OPTION
Students completing the Athletic
Training option are eligible to sit the
National Athletic Trainer’s Association
Board of Certification (NATABOC) examination. With NATABOC certification, the graduate is qualified for employment as a certified athletic trainer (ATC) in a variety of work settings. These venues include sports medicine clinics, hospitals, high schools, colleges and universities, professional sports teams, and corporate/industrial settings.
The Athletic Training option is a rigorous academic and clinical program designed to prepare graduates to enter a variety of employment settings and to render medical care to a wide spectrum of individuals engaged in physical activity. The program of study involves specialized academic course work and three years of supervised clinical experience. The technical standards set forth by the OSU Athletic Training option establish the essential qualities considered necessary for students admitted to this program to achieve the knowledge, skills, and competencies of an entry-level certified athletic trainer, as well as meet the expectations of the program’s accrediting agency.
The Athletic Training option employs a competitive admission process, in that all students interested in applying for the Athletic Training option must complete prerequisite courses and a directed clinical observation experience prior to gaining formal admission.
Typically, the admission process occurs at the end of a student’s freshman year.
A competitive admission process is used because there are historically more applicants than can be accommodated in the clinical settings. Consult with the athletic training education program director or a College of Health and
Human Sciences advisor for program guidelines and application instructions.
Curriculum requirements for the four-year program are listed below.

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND
FAMILY STUDIES (MS, PhD)
Graduate Areas of Concentration
Early childhood education, family studies, human development
The Department of Human Development and Family Sciences offers course work and programs of study in the area of human development and family studies. The Gerontology Program is also administered by the College of
Health and Human Sciences. The PhD program in human development and family studies has been approved by the
Western Interstate Commission for
Higher Education (WICHE) as a regional graduate program. Students from Alaska, Arizona, Colorado,
Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Utah, Washington, and Wyoming may attend at resident tuition rates. Areas of study and degrees granted are described below.
Human development and family studies offers graduate work leading to
Master of Science and Doctor of
Philosophy degrees. Graduate programs take a multidisciplinary approach, preparing students for college and university teaching and research, as well as development, administration, and evaluation of programs serving individuals and families across the lifespan.
Graduate programs are offered in four areas. Human development offers a life-span perspective from which students may specialize in prenatal and early childhood development, middle childhood and adolescence, or adult development and aging. Family studies presents basic knowledge about families with specific focus in relationship development, family stress and crisis, family policy, family structure, and intergenerational family relationships.
Early childhood education integrates child development theory with educational programming to facilitate the development of young children.
Gerontology, the study of aging, is offered as a minor area.
Research is a very important focus of the graduate program in human development and family studies. The
HDFS faculty includes nationally recognized scholars who are widely published in areas such as families and aging; families and stress; family communication and conflict; child, adolescent, and adult development; intergenerational family relationships; family structure; gender; teacher training, as well as methodology.

Area of Concentration
Gerontology
The Program on Gerontology offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of aging. Because aging involves physiological, sociological and psychological processes, gerontology education and research is relevant to many disciplines. Career opportunities in gerontology are extremely diverse and include positions in community services, health sciences, nutrition and dietetics, housing, health and physical education, pharmacy, counseling, health care administration, business, public policy, and many other arenas.
Recognizing the diversity of relevant disciplines and career opportunities, the
OSU Program on Gerontology offers course work in gerontology through
11 departments. The program is administered through the Department of Human Development and Family
Sciences.
To be considered a gerontology course, at least 50 percent of the course content must address gerontologyrelated issues.
Gerontology courses include:

In addition to gerontology courses, seminars, field study (310/410/510/610), research (401/501/601), and projects
(406/506/606) in gerontology are offered through the Department of
Human Development and Family
Sciences (HDFS). Field study, research, and projects in gerontology may also be available through other departments.
Students register for field study, research, or projects credit in the department that best meets their needs for supervision given the nature of the experience.
CERTIFICATE CURRICULUM
Undergraduate students in any major may earn a Gerontology certificate coordinated through the universitywide Program on Gerontology. This certificate includes a required core through which students are introduced to aging as an interactive process of physical, social, and psychological forces.
GRADUATE STUDY IN
GERONTOLOGY
OSU offers over 20 graduate-level gerontology courses plus field study and research opportunities. There are four ways to pursue significant graduate work in gerontology at OSU:
1. Adult development and aging may be selected as an area of concentration for both master’s and doctoral degrees in Human Development and Family
Studies. Students choosing this concentration will select adult development and aging course work and research in their major as well as choose an integrated minor in gerontology.
2. Gerontology is an integrated minor
(i.e., courses chosen from a variety of departments) available to graduate students in any major field. The minor requires 18–36 credits, including HDFS 514, Social Gerontology.
The balance of the course work is selected from graduate gerontology courses, field study, and/or research.
3. Gerontology is an area of study in the
Master’s of Interdisciplinary Studies
(MAIS) program. MAIS students are required to take a minimum of
15 credits in gerontology, including
HDFS 514, Social Gerontology. The balance of courses is selected from graduate gerontology courses, field study, and/or research.
4. A Master’s of Public Health (MPH) with a concentration in gerontology is offered jointly by the Department of Public Health and the Program on
Gerontology.
CERTIFICATE CURRICULUM
Students earning a baccalaureate degree in any major at OSU may earn a
Certificate in Gerontology. Certificate’s increase students’ employability in the many professional areas related to aging. Certification in gerontology is a nationally recognized way of identifying professionals’ academic study in aging.

The Department of Nutrition and Food
Management offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees. Study may emphasize nutrition or dietetic management. All programs integrate related disciplines. A thesis based on original research is required for the MS and PhD degree programs.
Students may pursue aspects of ongoing projects in the department or develop research topics in areas of their own interest or departmental interest.
Research in the Department of
Nutrition and Food Management
(NFM) is focused in the areas of human nutrition and the nutrients needed to promote health, the interaction of nutrition and exercise on health. The research within the department seeks the discovery of new knowledge, information, techniques and/or interventions that can promote the optimal health of individuals and families in Oregon, nationally, and worldwide. Faculty research has contributed uniquely to the understanding of human nutrition requirements, dietary recommendations for selected nutrients, and dietetic management. Departmental faculty are doing research on the impact of nutrition and exercise on health, especially nutrient needs of individuals across the lifecycle, prevention of obesity, nutrients and lifestyles that
improve bone health, and nutrient requirements and dietary practices of active individuals. Departmental faculty have also been instrumental in defining the recommendations for human intake of vitamin B-6 and evaluating its bioavailability under different dietary, physiological and demographic conditions and its interactions with other nutrients, and the study of trace mineral bioavailability and gene interactions, especially fluoride and zinc. Departmental researchers, in conjunction with the Linus Pauling
Institute, are studying the role of vitamin E in human health, which has contributed substantially to the knowledge base used to establish recommendations for the level of vitamin E intake that promotes health.
Applied nutrition research in the department includes investigation of the basis for individual dietary behavior and behavior change among young adults, elderly people and children as it relates to health promotion, especially in school and long-term settings. Dietetic management includes organizational/ professional productivity, financial control, energy and human relations.
Research programs are interdisciplinary, interagency and teamwork oriented.
Research outcomes are disseminated to the public through the department’s
Extension function, research publications, presentations at regional, national and international meetings, and through the department’s website.
Since these majors build upon the natural and social sciences, entering graduate students should have a background in chemistry, physiology, nutrition, statistics, biochemistry and/or foods.
Depending upon their concentration, graduates are prepared for positions in college and university teaching; research and development in industry, the university, or government; Extension education; and dietetics management.
Information on graduate assistantships and fellowships are available from the department.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY
MANAGEMENT (MS)
Graduate Areas of Concentration
Environmental health, occupational safety
Environmental Health and Occupational Safety Management is concerned with the identification and control of physiological, biological, chemical, and safety factors that affect human health.
Specifically, the field specializes in managing components of the environment and workplace that have a negative impact on human health.
Management approaches include regulatory, legislative, policy, and behavioral techniques as well as the development of local, national, and global control plans.
The program builds on strong prerequisite course work in the basic sciences (chemistry, biology, and physics), in mathematics, and in the applied social sciences. Students are encouraged to enroll in related courses offered in the department and in other departments at Oregon State University, such as Environmental and Molecular
Toxicology, Business, Crop and Soil
Science, Civil Engineering, Biology,
Statistics, and Engineering.
Topics addressed in Environmental
Health core classes include: epidemiology, control of hazardous materials, identification of environmental factors that influence the transmission of chronic and communicable diseases
(such as air and water pollution or food-borne pathogens), international aspects of environmental disease and injury control, environmental justice, risk assessment and communication, regulatory mechanisms, and current developments in pollution prevention.
Topics addressed in the Occupational
Safety core classes include sustainable resource development and use, risk and cost burden analysis, strategy formulation and organizational structures, safety management information systems, program implementation and auditing, product/technology/process life cycle assessment, incident investigation, legal regulatory requirements, ergonomics, fire, and emergency disaster management and technical tools for recognizing, evaluating and controlling exposures to hazards.
The numbers and variety of professional employment opportunities in environmental health and occupational safety continue to expand and include positions in industry, government, manufacturing, consulting firms and higher education.
Further information about the MS in
Environmental Health and Occupational Safety Management is available in the Department’s MS handbook.
The MS in Environmental Health and
Occupational Safety Management is a
49-credit program. This includes a 28credit core in Environmental Health and
Occupational Safety (including 6 credits for a thesis or project), and 15 credits in a minor.
HEALTH EDUCATION (MS)
Graduate Area of Concentration
Health education
The MS in health education has the goal of educating students in the foundational areas of public health promotion and health education.
Students work closely with their faculty advisor to determine their program of study. The typical MS program in the
Department of Public Health consists of a minimum of 46 credit hours (a minimum of 31 credits for the area of concentration and 15 credits for the minor). Students are required to
complete a six-hour thesis or project as part of the concentration. Further information about the MS in health education is available in the
Department’s MS handbook.

Doctor of Philosophy
(PhD) in Public Health
The PhD in Public Health is for individuals who wish to prepare themselves for careers in university teaching, research, consulting, policy development, or other high-level public health positions. There are currently three areas of concentration offered for the PhD degree:
1. Environment, safety and health;
2. Health management and policy; and
3. Health promotion and health behavior.
A master’s degree in a relevant field is required before admission into the PhD program.
The PhD program consists of a minimum of 108 credits, including at least 36 graduate credits devoted to preparation of the thesis. Doctoral students take courses in research and quantitative methods, theory, ethics, and their area of emphasis. Each student and his/her doctoral committee jointly determine the student’s specific program of doctoral study. This process allows students to design a course of study uniquely suited to their particular needs and career goals. Further information about these requirements is available in the Department’s PhD handbook.
Master of Public Health (MPH)
The Oregon Master of Public Health
(OMPH) program is a joint graduate program offered by Oregon State
University (OSU), Oregon Health and
Sciences University (OHSU), and
Portland State University (PSU). Oregon
State University offers three tracks in the
OMPH Program:
1. Environment, Safety and Health
Track
2. Health Management and Policy
Track
3. International Health Track
4. Health Promotion Track
All students in the OMPH must take a common MPH core of five courses in the following areas:
• Epidemiology
• Biostatistics/biometry
• Health systems organization
• Environmental health
• Health behavior
In addition, each OMPH track has specific course requirements. The OMPH tracks offered at OSU are summarized below. The minimum number of credits varies by track.
Further information about the OMPH program and tracks can be found at the
OMPH website at http:// www.oregonmph.org and in the
Department’s MPH handbook.
Environment,
Safety and Health Track
The MPH in Environment Safety and
Health will give students an understanding of how exposures to hazardous chemical, physical, or biological agents affect human health, the environment and organizational resources. The curriculum prepares students to: (1) identify and assess the major environment, safety and health hazards that impact workers and the general population; (2) communicate (culturally appropriate) strategies for preventing and controlling environment, safety and health hazards; (3) contribute to the field of environment, safety and health through applied research; (4) analyze the interrelationship among the organization, delivery, and financing of environment, safety and health-related services; (5) apply environment, safety and health knowledge and skills in practical; and (6) adhere to established
ESH professional ethical standards and practices.
Health Management and Policy Track
Students in the health policy and management (HPM) track strengthen and build upon the theoretical foundations underlying health policy and management to allow the student the opportunity to enhance their skills and knowledge in this discipline. The track integrates the core concepts of public health with specific instruction in management, finance, strategy, policy, information systems, quality improvement, marketing, law and regulation, reimbursement, and human resources.
International Health Track
The goal of the international health track is to prepare public health professionals for leadership roles in international health, with an emphasis in the improvement of health status of populations in developing nations. This is an interdisciplinary track that draws resources from departments throughout the university. Students coming from different disciplinary backgrounds may apply their knowledge in an appropriate area of international health studies, and select from a number of different areas of specialization.
Health Promotion Track
The health promotion track focuses on ecological approaches to the promotion of health and the prevention of disease, premature death, and disability. The curriculum prepares students to recognize the unique needs of diverse populations and to utilize public health approaches to deliver culturally appropriate prevention programs.
Graduates of this track have the requisite knowledge and skills to plan, develop, administer, implement, and evaluate health promotion and health behavior programs; communicate health risk using principles of health behavior; implement appropriate theory-based practice and research and mobilize community resources for planned social change; aid others in increasing their health enhancing skills; and develop, analyze, and promote policies that reduce health risk.
