Help students become aware of and solve personal health problems, develop and maintain physical fitness programs as well as select meaningful life time sports that will facilitate the proper use of leisure while in and after leaving college. 2. Prepare students for careers in the areas of athletics, dance, health, physical education and recreation. 3. Meet the recreational and leisure time needs of students while on campus through such programs as intramurals, campus recreation, and sport clubs. 4. Meet the creative needs of those students interested in the performing arts through the dance program (e.g. dance classes, Orchesis). Education: Programs are offered in general education (specific course requirements and general education area requirements), professional preparation (athletics, dance, health, physical education and recreation), recreation (intramurals, extramurals), and performing arts (Orchesis and dance). In order to meet the general education specific course requirements, the student is required to take a course in Personal Health Problems (HLTH 101, 102, 103) and three quarter hours of physical education and dance activities (DANCE 146-153, PHYED 100- 165). Three different activities (preferably during different quarters) are required. Students interested in professional preparation (careers) may emphasize: athletics, physical education, recreation, health and dance. In addition, special preparation may be obtained by designing a general studies program (e.g. executive fitness, commercial physical education). Education — Health, Physical Education and Recreation The recreation and leisure needs of college students can be met through participating in intramurals, campus recreation, sport clubs, and scheduled free play. The Intramural Program consists of a variety of activities organized on a competitive and recreational basis limited to students, faculty and staff. The Orchesis Program is designed to give students the opportunity for creative dance study, composition and performance. Employment Outlook: Students planning to teach in the areas of health, physical education, recreation and dance may find the field relatively tight for the next two to four years. Willingness to relocate greatly enhances one's opportunities for employment. Majors in physical education are advised to select minors in areas such as math, reading, and English. Employment opportunities in the various areas related to health, physical education, recreation and dance are growing. Due to an increasing national interest in health maintenance and illness prevention, more opportunities will arise both in the public and private sector during the next few years. Current salary ranges for jobs in health, physical education, recreation and dance are reportedly within the following ranges: (1) local, state and federal government positions $10,000 to $27,000, and (2) private positions $14,000 to over $30,000. The projected increase for employment opportunities is approximately 21%. Related Careers: Opportunities in health, physical education, recreation and dance are many. Within the local, state and federal government agencies numerous positions exist (e.g. teacher, coach, administrator, director of recreation, health, physical fitness and sport programs). Within the private sector many positions exist and are rapidly being created (e.g. executive fitness director, sporting good representative, recreation director, YMCA and YWCA director, private club professionals and directors). These examples are but a few of the many alternatives available to majors and minors in health, physical education, recreation and dance.
