Biostatistics
Biostatistics provides students with the theoretical and applied statistical methodology and reasoning necessary for addressing, analyzing and
solving problems in public health; health care; and biomedical, clinical and population-based research; to undertake quantitative evaluation and
measurement; and to use methods of statistical inference and estimation to arrive at appropriate conclusions from laboratory, biomedical and public
health data. The biostatistics program prepares individuals to undertake teaching, research, and service roles in the public health sector through
active professional careers in government, industry, and academia. The program seeks to encourage student participation in collaborative research
projects whenever possible because of the crucial role that collaboration plays in a biostatistician's professional activities. All graduate in
biostatistics will be able to:

The Department of Nutrition offers the B.S. degree in Nutrition as well as general education and other coursework for majors and non-majors. There are
three tracks in the major that prepare students for different careers within the broad field of nutrition. These are Dietetics, Nutrition and Health Science
and Nutrition in a Global Society. The Dietetics track is accredited by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Nutrition is a diverse field, with many
opportunities for a rewarding career. Nutritionists work in hospitals and clinics, communities and institutions throughout the world. Nutritionists provide
dietary counseling and education, conduct research, develop menus and foodservice systems and deliver many other services for individuals and
populations. Nutrition is also an excellent major for preparation for careers in the health and medical sciences.

Kinesiology
The major in Kinesiology focuses on the study of human performance within a biophysical context, including aspects of anatomy, physiology, chemistry,
physics, biology, nutrition and computer science. The study of human performance is thus a cross-disciplinary subject field and is referred to as the
academic discipline of Kinesiology. For the major in Kinesiology, courses taken outside the department include: physics, chemistry, math and computer
science. These courses provide the foundation for the Kinesiology courses that apply the basic scientific principles to the study of movement.
Outcome Competencies
B.S. students in Kinesiology should:
Understand the basic issues and sub disciplines that comprise Kinesiology.
Achieve basic library research skills.
Acquire elementary data analysis skills.
Understand terminology related to mortality, morbidity, and health risk
factors.
Understand terminology related to the study of physical activity, exercise,
and fitness.

that are relevant to human health.
Describe how physical activity, sedentary behavior, and fitness are
assessed and used and the strengths and weaknesses of these measures.
Evaluate quality and significance of the science of exercise, physical activity,
and health.
Identify physiological aspects of major diseases/conditions that impact
health.
Understand risk factors for major diseases that influence health.

Communication Disorders
The learning objectives for the M.A. and Au.D. programs are strongly influenced by the certification requirements of the American Speech, Language and
Hearing Association (ASHA). For Ph.D. degrees, these objectives are developed between the student and his or her advisor. The doctoral committee may
offer input, but usually to a lesser extent. Thus, formulating a doctoral degree program requires both student and advisor to carefully define the degree
and its parameters, a valuable process in itself.
Outcome Competencies

should:
Critique the terms, concepts and methods used in communications disorders.
