Education programs in the areas of
health education and physical education
are taught primarily in the College of
Health and Human Sciences.
The graduate Professional Teacher
Education program includes graduate
courses and extensive practical experience in the public schools at levels K
through 12. A cohort of students enters
the program during summer term and
completes certification and master’s
degree requirements the following June.
The Health Education program places
a strong emphasis on health education
in elementary and middle schools in
addition to the traditional secondary
school focus. Students involved in the
program have opportunities to interact
with and instruct children and youth
across the public school age span. They
develop knowledge and skills essential
for working with communities in order
to further the development of comprehensive school health education
programs.
The Physical Education program
offers students the opportunity to
participate in continuous on-site
supervised internships in elementary,
middle and high school settings. In
association with the nationally recognized graduate program in Movement
Studies for the Disabled, students will
work with special needs children and
youth in physical education environments. Activities in the Instructional
Analysis Laboratory offer students the
opportunity to improve their teaching
behavior through analysis.
A strong public school partnership
including collaboration with area public

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.

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
370
Oregon State University
Human Sciences adviser for program
guidelines and application instructions.

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 lifespan 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.

Gerontology
The university-wide 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. Undergraduate and graduate
students have the opportunity to study
gerontology in conjunction with their
major field.
Recognizing the diversity of relevant
disciplines and of career opportunities,
the OSU Program on Gerontology offers
course work in gerontology through 10
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.

Graduate Areas of Concentration
Dietetics and food service management,
interaction of nutrition and exercise on
health, nutrient and gene interactions,
nutrient requirements and
interrelationships between nutrients,
nutrition across the lifecycle, nutritional
biochemistry and metabolism,
nutritional status assessment
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
College of Health and Human Sciences
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 Web site.
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.
