DEPARTMENTAL HONORS

In conjunction with the Honors Program, the Department of Health Promotion and Human Performance offers a Departmental Honors curriculum for students in the Athletic Training Major. This is an enriched major program that provides greater scope for intellectual initiative and independent work. It can be particularly beneficial for students contemplating graduate school, by enhancing their credentials and also by exposing them to the type of study normally done at the graduate level.

 

» Program Prerequisite: Enroll in the General Honors Program and complete 6 hours of General Honors courses (see the Honors Program).

 

» Grade Requirements: Maintain an overall GPA of 3.3.

 

» Credit Hour Requirements: Fulfill the requirements for the AT major in the HPHP department, of which at least 9 credit hours in the required upper division courses must be taken for honors credit. In addition, students must complete 3 credits of AT 4800 (Individual Projects), during which time they will complete a senior thesis project. The project completed in the AT course taken for honors, in the semester preceding AT 4800, will include the introduction, literature review, methodology, and IRB submission for the AT 4800 project.
