Non-Teaching Programs
The Health and Physical Education program seeks to produce a well-rounded, entry-level professional, an aim expressed by Carroll's mission statement, as well as by its liberal arts focus. In addition to preparing students for the demands of future employment, the faculty members of the Health and Physical Education program strongly believe in the importance of promoting a healthy lifestyle that will allow each member of the Carroll community to meet the demands of everyday life.
Graduates of the Health and Physical Education program must understand learners/clients, be knowledgeable of programs, be well-founded in the methods of delivering programs designed to meet the unique needs of learners/clients, and be capable of evaluating the effectiveness of their professional programs.
The internship program
All Health and Physical Education majors must apply for admission to the internship program. Students must have a minimum 2.5 grade point average and a grade of “C” or better in HPE requirements and other program requirements. Applications must be made to the internship director no later than April 1 of the junior year. Failure to do so will cancel the student’s opportunity to participate in an internship during the fall or spring semesters of the following school year. It is the student’s responsibility to seek admission to the internship program. The student’s acceptance will be considered by the Department of Education faculty upon receipt of the appropriate forms and 3 recommendations from Carroll College faculty and staff.
While developing curricula and providing instruction for students majoring in Health and Physical Education, with concentration(s) in Community Health and/or Sport Management, it is necessary to seek the advice of professionals involved in these fields. The HPE Advisory Board is a group of recognized health and sport professionals and students who gather annually to discuss and document ideas for the program. The HPE Board consists of 25 members who represent different arenas of community health and sport management
