ACADEMIC PLANNING Academic Advising
All TWU students meet with the Academic Advisors or faculty advisers in their major program prior to registering each semester. Students work with advisers to develop a schedule of courses needed to complete degree requirements. Working with advisers supports academic success. Academic advisers discuss with students their decisions about educational and career goals, as well as informing them about degree requirements and opportunities. It is the responsibility of students to investigate necessary resources and information to help them make informed decisions regarding their academic careers. Students should work with advisers to stay informed about current institutional policy, departmental scholarships, and support services.
Credit Hour Load
An undergraduate student may not enroll for more than 19 semester credit hours during a fall or spring semester, or more than 17 semester credit hours during the summer, including Maymester. Exceptions require the approval of the department chairperson/program director/associate dean. Exceptions will be considered only if additional course work is in the best interests of the student, student is in good academic standing, and has a grade point average of 3.0 or higher for the last two semesters. Students are expected to prepare for classes with a minimum of two to three hours of study for each credit hour.

ACADEMIC TESTING Credit by Examination
Credit by Examination includes Advanced Placement (AP) tests, College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests, and International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma programs. For information on credit by examination and TWU course equivalencies for exams, seee the Admissions section of this catalog or at http://www.twu. edu/admissions/credit-by-examination.asp.
Texas Success Initiative (TSI)
By Texas law, all undergraduate students enrolling in Texas public colleges and universities must take an approved TSI test to ensure their academic readiness for college-level course work. All undergraduate students enrolling at Texas Womans University who are not otherwise exempt must attempt a TSI approved test prior to enrolling for classes. TSI approved tests include ACCUPLACER, ASSET, COMPASS, and THEA. The ACCUPLACER test is offered regularly at TWU for TSI; see the Academic Advising webpage for the schedule of tests (http:// www.twu.edu/aac/tests.asp). Transfer students from out of state or Texas private institutions may be eligible to use transferred courses to satisfy TSI requirements. A student must have earned a satisfactory course grade in each of the three skill areas: math, reading, and writing. If not, the student must be tested for the remaining skill area(s) and must comply with all other TSI requirements. Students who have not met one or more standards of readiness for freshman work will meet individually with an academic advisor to determine an appropriate developmental education plan. The advisor may suggest enrollment in a developmental course (MATH 1113, 1123; ENG 1003; READ 1003). Once a student has successfully completed the recommended developmental coursework or repeated an assessment test, the student proceeds to freshman coursework. Students who have not met freshman readiness standards will experience a registration block/ hold until they meet those standards.
Placement Testing for New Students
University placement tests in English, math, and science are used to enroll new students in the core courses for which they are best prepared. When needed, students may be placed in developmental courses to prepare them for success in core courses. Placement tests are offered at new student orientations and regularly throughout the year. Exemption from placement testing in math and English may be granted when scores on the SAT, ACT, TAKS, or TSI indicate high probability of success in core courses. Science placement testing is determined by majors that require it.

Global Perspectives Graduation Requirement
Living in an interconnected global society requires an appreciation of the complexity and interdependency of world events and issues. Undergraduate education at TWU aims to broaden students perspectives, expand the boundaries of their conversations, and provide them opportunities to recognize and understand other worldviews. To meet this goal, all undergraduates who enroll at TWU beginning fall 2007 or thereafter, must complete a global perspectives requirement. A global perspective refers to skills, knowledge, and attitudes in areas such as global dynamics, non-western worldviews, international systems and events, and global cultures. To meet this requirement, students may either complete six credit hours of courses that have been approved for their global perspective, complete a major in which the global perspective competencies are integrated across the curriculum and is approved for global perspectives designation, or complete global perspectives approved courses in international study or independent study. These methods of achieving global perspectives may be combined when appropriate, and students will be encouraged to pursue as many opportunities as their degree programs allow. Courses approved for global perspectives are listed on the Academic Affairs website,andmaybeidentifiedonlineintheCourseSearchthroughWebadvisor.
CORE CURRICULUM REQUIREMENT
All Texas undergraduate students in public higher education are required to complete a state-approved core curriculum. When the TWU core curriculum changes, students enrolled at TWU before the change should complete the core in place when they began enrolling at TWU. (The prior core is archived in the Academic Affairs website). The TWU core curriculum described below applies to students whoenrollforthefirsttimeatTWUinfall2009orreenteraftermorethantwo years. This core differs from prior core curricula. For transfer of core curriculum courses, see Transfer of Credits section below. Undergraduate students are required to complete the core curriculum. TWU reserves the right to change core curriculum within boundaries of Texas Core requirements. The core curriculum described here applies to students entering in 2009 or later. Students entering after that time should contact advisers or Academic Affairs website for updates to the TWU core curriculum.
72 Academic Information The TWU core curriculum is a rigorous and challenging program of general education designed to: 1. Promote students mastery of basic intellectual competencies - reading, writing, speaking, listening, critical thinking, and computer literacy; 2. Establish multiple perspectives on the individual and the world in which she or he lives 3. Enable students to understand the responsibilities of living in a multicultural world; 4. Familiarize students with contributions by and about women in various disciplines and acquaint students with major texts, trends, and issues in womens studies; 5. Provide the combination of skills, liberal studies, and insights into contemporary issues needed by students who aspire to positions of leadership.
TWU Core Curriculum Requirements
The TWU core includes both courses and two competencies (oral communications and computer literacy). To ensure that they select the appropriate courses for completion of the TWU core and for their majors, students should consult with the degree requirements in theirmajors.Eachdepartment,school,andcollegespecifiesitsownrequirements for a major and minor in its section of the catalog and on its website. A course taken for core credit in the department of the students major cannot be counted in the hours applied to the major. In addition, departments may specify which core courses may be taken by their majors and may specify that a course taken for core credit is a prerequisite for a course that gives credit in the major. Ifacourseinastudentsmajorfieldisalsoapprovedforcorecredit,thestudent may elect to take the course either for core credit or for credit toward the major, provided the department of the students major approves. Following state guidelines, non-core courses cannot be substituted for core courses. Equivalency with core courses may be established by the advisor with corecourseevaluationthroughtheOfficeofUndergraduateStudies. Students pursuing a degree program that requires transfer to TWU centers in Dallas or Houston should take particular care to complete all lower-division core requirements in a timely fashion.

Natural Science Requirements
The TWU core curriculum requires a minimum of 6 credit hours in natural sciences, and there is no stated requirement for a science lab. However, many majors do require sciences with laboratory components. Students must follow the requirements of their majors in selecting science courses and labs. When a science course has a laboratory as a co-requisite, students must enroll in both the lecture and the lab course simultaneously. Students who withdraw from a lecture course, must also withdraw from the co-requisite lab course. Students who pass a 3 credit hour lecture course, have met 3 credit hours of the natural science requirement for the core curriculum. However, if they withdraw from or fail the lab course, they have not met a departmental/ major requirement for sciences with a lab. The laboratory course may be repeated separately from the lecture course if the lecture course was passed. Likewise, the lecture course may be repeated separately if the lab course was passed.
Curriculum for Undeclared Majors
First-time-in-college students who have not declared a major should take the courses in the required core curriculum. Students may delay declaring a major until they have completed 30 credit hours; however, some majors require students toselectspecificcoursesamongtheapprovedcorecourses.Whenstudentshave decided upon a major, they must submit a Change of Undergraduate Academic ProgramformtotheRegistrarsOffice.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS Core Curriculum Transfer Policy
Texas requires a minimum of 42 and allows a maximum of 48 credit hours for the core curriculum; however, these limits can be changed by the Texas Legislature. Within state limits and the categories of study in the core, each institution is allowed
Academic Information
79
to set the total hours required and the courses required. As indicated above, TWU has a 42 hour core curriculum. In order to facilitate the transfer of core courses into the University, TWU observes the rules from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Core Curriculum Transfer and Field of Study regulations. Core-complete Transfer Students TWU follows the state rule which indicates that: If a student successfully completes the 42 semester credit hour core curriculum at an institution of higher education, that block of courses may be transferred to any other institution of higher education and must be substituted for the receiving institutions core curriculum. Therefore, while TWU has a core of 42 hours, students coming into the university with a completed 42 hour core cannot be required to take additional core classes. The Transfer Admissions website at TWU lists the core requirements of several Texas community colleges for advisers and students use. Transfer transcripts from community colleges must include the notation Core Complete to ensure credit for core completion or a letter from the Registrar with the same message. Advisers may also document core completion through transcript analysis. The following rule will be observed for transfer students who have completed a 42 hour core at a Texas public institution: A student shall receive academic credit for each of the courses transferred and may not be required to take additional core curriculum courses at the receiving institution unless the board has approved a larger core curriculum at that institution. Therefore students entering with a 42 hour core might be required to take courses for the hours above their 42 hour core only if TWU increases required core hours. To assist students and advisers in determining course equivalencies between TWU and other Texas institutions, a list of equivalents for the Texas common course numbers (TCCNS Crosswalk) appears at the end of this catalog. For lists of core curricula at other institutions, see the Texas General Education Core Webcenter (http://statecore. its.txstate.edu). Core-Incomplete Transfer Students To assist transfer students who have not completed the core at another institution, TWU follows state rules below to assure that students receive credit for all core courses they bring into the University. The state core regulation states that: A student who transfers from one institution to another without completing the core curriculum shall receive academic credit within the core curriculum of the receiving institution for each of the courses that the student has successfully completed in the core curriculum of the sending institution. Following receipt of credit for these courses, the student may be required to satisfy the remaining course requirements in the core curriculum of the receiving institution. As this rule indicates, students who have not completed the state core at an-
80 Academic Information other institution are required to complete the TWU core in the state areas that the student did not complete (communication, mathematics, arts, humanities, social & behavioral sciences, institutional option). The TWU Transfer Admissions website lists the core requirements of several Texas community colleges and their TWU equivalencies for advisors and students use: www.twu.edu/admissions/transfer/. Concurrently Enrolled Students TWU follows state policy which states that, A student concurrently enrolled at more than one institution of higher education shall follow the core curriculum requirementsineffectfortheinstitutionatwhichthestudentisclassifiedasadegreeseeking student. Therefore, if a student is a degree-seeking student at TWU and takes core courses at other institutions, the student must be sure that courses taken elsewhere are accepted equivalencies for TWU core courses.
Transfer Agreements
TWU develops transfer agreements with community colleges and publishes the agreements on the TWU Transfer Admissions website and in Transfer Handbooks. These include community college equivalencies for TWU Core Curriculum, individual course equivalencies, and 2+2 academic program-to-program articulation plans. Following the degree program plans in TWU Transfer Handbooks assures that students who complete the states core curriculum at community colleges with which TWU has transfer agreements and whose transcripts are labeled Core Complete, will not need to take any additional core curriculum courses at TWU. For more information including course equivalencies and agreements, visit the Admissionsofficeorwebsiteatwww.twu.edu/admissions/transfer/.
Transfer of Credits
Texas Womans University reserves the right to re-evaluate the transferability ofspecificcoursesofferedbyotherinstitutions,andtoamendtheUniversitycourse and/or program offerings without prior notice. Students may transfer a maximum of 84 semester credit hours from community and/or junior colleges. If a student has taken more than 84 hours, a TWU transcript evaluator will post only 84 hours. Substitutions and/or changes may be made after consultation with an academic advisor. There is no maximum number of semester credit hours transferred from four-year institutions; however, students must observe the TWU residency requirement for graduation. Also, there is a penalty for excess hours taken above the required number of hours for a degree. TWUs Transfer Equivalency Guides show courses that are transferable to TWU as direct course equivalencies. Courses that transfer but do not have direct TWU equivalencies are posted to the transcript with the course heading, a generic course number, and the title of the course, such as BIOL *2000 Principles of Biology. A TWU adviser will determine how these courses may be applied to a degree plan. Core courses and global perspectives equivalencies will be determined by the OfficeofUndergraduateStudies.

Courses not listed on the Transfer Equivalency Guides may be transferable to TWU, but are not guaranteed to transfer. CourseswilltransfertoTWUatthelevelatwhichthesecourseswereclassified bytheinstitutiongrantingthecredit,unlessspecifiedotherwiseintheinstitutional transfer equivalency guides. Community college courses will count as lower-level courses,unlessotherwisespecified. Effective for new students beginning in the Spring 2008 semester, only courses with a grade of D or better will transfer. However, ALL grades for college-level courses (including Fs) will be considered for calculation of grade point average to determine admission to TWU. If a transfer course has been taken more than once at another institution, TWU will accept the highest grade awarded to the student for that course. College preparatory course work in developmental math, reading, and writing is not transferable and does not satisfy college-level requirements at TWU. Successful completion of developmental courses may be used to establish readiness for college-level courses. Courses taken at institutions not holding accreditation will be evaluated independently and on a course-by-course basis. TWU follows the recommendations of the American Council on Educations (ACE) Guide to the Evaluation of Education Experiences in the Armed Services. TWU does not accept life or work experience as college credit. UponacceptancetoTWU,studentsmayviewtheirtransferworkandunofficial transcript through their Pioneer Portal account. Students should also run a DARS degree audit through their portal account. *The state-approved Field of Study Curricula include Business, Computer Science, CriminalJustice,EarlyChildhood,Engineering,4-8TeacherCertification,Music, Nursing and the Communication plan. These and others as they are approved can be found on the Texas Higher Educating Board website (www.thecb.state.tx.us/). The University provides support services for transfer students equivalent to those provided to non-transfer students regularly enrolled at the institutions, including an orientation program for transfer students equivalent to that provided for entering freshman enrollees. MattersoftransferdisputearemanagedbytheOfficeofUndergraduateStudies. Texas Womans University observes the following state regulation: 5.393 Resolution of Transfer Disputes for Lower-Division Courses.

ACADEMIC TERMS DEFINED
According to the number and type of semester credit hours completed, studentsareclassifiedasfreshmen,sophomores,juniors,seniors,post-baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral students. A full-time undergraduate student is one carrying twelve semester hours or more in fall or spring; six semester hours in Summer Session I or II; twelve semester hours in Summer Session III. Whenastudenttransfersfromanothercollegeoruniversity,classificationis determined by the number of hours accepted for transfer. FRESHMAN: has completed 0-29 semester hours. SOPHOMORE: has completed 30-59 semester hours. JUNIOR: has completed 60-89 semester hours. SENIOR: has completed 90 or more semester hours but who has not graduated. POST-BACCALAUREATE: has earned the baccalaureate degree and is taking only undergraduate courses. Postbaccalaureate status prevents the enrollment in any graduate course and under no circumstances will postbaccalaureate work be counted as graduate work. MASTERS DEGREE STUDENT: has earned the baccalaureate degree and has been accepted in a masters level program. DOCTORAL STUDENT: holds the masters degree or its equivalent and is seeking the doctoral degree.
Academic Classification of Students
Academic Integrity
The University has instituted an Academic Integrity Pledge, which requires students to acknowledge, on all graded assignments, that they have neither given nor received unauthorized assistance on the assignments.

Academic Major
An academic major is an approved group of courses leading to a bachelors degree in an academic discipline. All groups of courses leading to degrees assume four or more years of study. Each group includes a major subject, consisting of 30 or more hours, one-half of which must be at the 3000 or 4000 level. The major subjects are listed in the chart at the beginning of the catalog and under the departmental sections of this catalog. A minimum of a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) must be maintained in major courses; a higher GPA may be required by the department. Half of the upper level courses planned for the major must be taken at TWU (residency requirement). Degree plans list all requirements for the majors. See websites for academic programs and/or Undergraduate Studies website.
Academic Minor
An academic minor is an approved group of courses or number of courses required for focused study in an academic discipline. A minor includes a mimimum of 6 credit hours at the upper level. The academic minor is not a University-wide requirement. Academic units may establish or abolish a minor requirement for their students. The major and minor subjects must be chosen from separate departments except in the Departments of Visual Arts; Biology; Business and Economics; Communication Sciences and Disorders; History and Government; English, Speech, and Foreign Languages; Mathematics and Computer Science; and Sociology and Social Work. Degree plans list requirements for the minors; see websites for academic programs. Half of the upper level courses planned for a minor must be taken at TWU (residency requirement).

ACADEMIC STANDARDS Academic Good Standing
Undergraduate students who meet or exceed the minimum academic standards specifiedfortheirclassificationareconsideredtobeinacademicgoodstandingat the University. The academic standing of undergraduate students is determined by the computation of the cumulative grade point average. It is determined at the close of the fall and spring semesters. The total number of hours attempted at Texas Womans University and all hours included in transfer from other institutions of higher education will be included in determining the cumulative grade point average. The minimum cumulative grade point average required for students to remain in good academic standing is outlined below.

Grades and Grade Points
The number of grade points given for each grade made by a student is determined as follows: Grade A: 4 times as many grade points as credit hours. Grade B: 3 times as many grade points as credit hours. Grade C: 2 times as many grade points as credit hours. Grade D: 1 time as many grade points as credit hours. Grade F: No grade points. Credit hours are counted; thus the grade is punitive. Grade W: No grade points. Grade WF: No grade points. Credit hours are counted; thus the grade is punitive. Grade I: No grade points. Grade CR: Credit for hours earned, but no grade points. Grade PR: No hours or grade points. Grade X: No grade points, non-punitive. Grade DA: Developmental A, no grade points.
86 Academic Information Grade DB: Developmental B, no grade points. Grade DC: Developmental C, no grade points. Grade DF: Developmental F, no grade points. Grades are interpreted as: A, Excellent; B, Good; C, Average; D, Inferior but passing; F, Failure; CR, Credit; PR, In Progress (normally used for thesis, professional paper, or dissertation); I, Incomplete; W, Withdrew from the course without penalty; WF, Withdrew from the course while failing; X, no credit due to tuition deficiency.ThelettersREPfollowingthegradeindicaterepeatedcoursework. The higher grade is counted for repeated coursework. Incomplete (I) grade is appropriate only when a student has passing grades in 2/3 of assigned work, but, because of extenuating circumstances, cannot complete all of the course work by the end of the semester/term. Extenuating circumstances include 1. Incapacitating illness which prevents a student from attending classes; 2. A death in the immediate family; 3. Change in work schedule as required by an employer; or 4. Other emergencies deemed appropriate by the instructor. A grade of Incomplete should not be requested nor given for lack of completion of work because of procrastination or dissatisfaction with the grade earned.

Undergraduate Limit on Dropped Courses
Under section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code, an institution of higher education may not permit a student to drop more than six courses, including any course a transfer student has dropped at another institution of higher education. This statute was enacted by the State of Texas in spring 2007 and applies to undergraduate students who enroll in a public institution of higher education as first-timefreshmeninfall2007orlater.Anycoursethatastudentdropsafterthe census date is counted toward the six-course limit if (1) the student was able to drop the course without receiving a grade or incurring an academic penalty; (2) the students transcript indicates or will indicate that the student was enrolled in the course; and (3) the student is not dropping the course in order to withdraw from the institution. For details of this policy, see the webpage of Undergraduate Studies. Undergraduates may drop a course with penalty before the census day of each regular semester. However, after the census date, anyone enrolling for the firsttimeinFall2007orlater(atTWUoranyTexaspublichighereducationinstitution), are allowed only 6 unexcused drops during their undergraduate academic careers. Drops after the census day will count toward the 6-drop limit unless they are supported by timely, appropriate documentation and excused by the university reviewprocess.SpecialdropsformsareavailableintheRegistrarsOfficeand require the signature of the student, instructor, and academic adviser. This policy is based on a new state law; see the link above. This does not apply when students drop all classes for the semester, withdrawing from the university.
Dropping a Course
Afterthefirstsixweeks,astudentwhowishestodropandtoreceiveagrade other than WF must secure a drop form from the students adviser, secure the signaturesrequiredontheform,andfiletheformintheOfficeoftheRegistrar.The instructor will recommend either a grade of W or a grade of WF on the drop form. Failure to process the drop form by the published deadline will cause the student to receive the grade of F. Students wishing to drop all classes and withdraw from theUniversityshouldcontacttheOfficeofStudentLife.
Grade Appeals
Grade appeal procedures of each college shall be followed. Appeals must begin with an appeal to the faculty no later than 10 class days after the grade decision is made. If a student wishes to appeal the decision further, appeals are made in writing beginning with the associate dean, chair, or program directors level and following department, college, or school procedures for additional levels. Gradu-
88 Academic Information ate students may appeal to the graduate dean if grade issues are not resolved at the college level. Appeals at each level must be made in writing no later than 10 class days after the date of the decision of the previous level. The ten days for appeals at each level do not include weekends, holidays, or days between academic sessions. AllgradechangesmustbemadethroughtheRegistrarsOfficewithinoneyearof the original grade assignment.
Course Repetition
When a course is taken more than once, the grade used to compute the students GPA is the best grade. After attempting a course twice, the student is charged additional tuition for all subsequent enrollments in that course.
Class Attendance
Consistent and attentive attendance is vital to academic success and is expected of all students. Grades are determined by academic performance and instructors may givestudentswrittennoticethatattendancerelatedtospecificclassroomactivities isrequiredandwillconstituteaspecificpercentageofstudentsgrades. Instructors are strongly encouraged to keep a record of student attendance. They should note absences due to documented student illness, serious illness or death in thestudentsimmediatefamily,officialschoolactivity,state-recognizedreligious holiday,orotherverifiedabsencesdeemedappropriatebytheinstructor.Students must consult with instructors regarding the completion of make-up work. Absences do not exempt students from academic requirements. Excessive absences, even if documented, may result in a student failing the course. An incomplete may be granted if the student has a passing grade, but only if the instructor determines that it is feasible for the student to successfully complete remaining assignments after the semester. Pursuant to university policy, such determinations are within the discretion of the instructor. Students who fail to maintain academic good standing are placed on academic probation or suspension. (Good standing measns a GPA of 1.8 for students with 29 or fewer hours; 2.0 for students with good standing: 30 or more hours). Students previously in academic good standing who fail to achieve the minimum cumulative gradepointaveragefortheirclassificationwillbeplacedonacademicprobation. Students placed on academic probation may enroll any following semester. If, upon enrolling, they achieve the minimum cumulative grade point average for their classification,theyarethenreturnedtoacademicgoodstanding.Iftheydonotattain that minimum, but they do earn a semester grade point average of at least 2.0 on nine or more hours, they are continued on probation. A student on probation may not apply for graduation.

A student who withdraws on or up to the census day (12th class day of fall or spring, 4th class day of a summer session, or 2nd class day of Maymester) will have no record of course work on the transcript. A student who withdraws after the census day (4th in summer) and before the last day to drop without penalty would receive a grade of W, regardless of the reason to withdraw. After the last date to withdraw without penalty, the grade of WF is assigned, unless the student withdraws for medical reasons or a W is recommended by the instructor.

Location: CFO 1006 Telephone: [phone] Department Web Page: http://www.twu.edu/health-studies/ Faculty: Professor G. James; Associate Professors R. Shipley, K.L. Wiginton M. Massey-Stokes; Assistant Professors J. Oomen-Early, A. Love, J. Terrell, S. Cardenas, T. Coyle, K. Parker. The Department of Health Studies offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Applied Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The Bachelor of Science degree in Health Studies prepares graduates to develop health education programs that promote wellness and prevent disease. Such programs exist in a variety of community settings, including worksite wellness programs, voluntary health organizations, public health departments, clinics and hospitals, and health maintenance organizations. Required courses within this degree program focus on health issues among diverse groups and the seven areas of responsibility of a health education specialist. Those areas include assessing individual and community health needs; planning, implementing, and evaluating health programs; program administration; serving as a resource person; and advocating for health services and health education. Graduates are eligible to take a nationalexamtobecomeaCertifiedHealthEducationSpecialist.Graduatesofthe programareeligibletotakeanationalexamtobecomeaCertifiedHealthEducation Specialist. TWUs Health Studies B.S. program is SABPAC approved; therefore all Health Studies core curriculum courses must be taken at TWU to maintain these national program approval standards. The Bachelor of Applied Science degree includes a curriculum which accepts a variety of related A.A.S. graduates in health professions to complete a bachelors degree with a Health Studies major, enabling them to advance their careers to more diverse positions with managerial responsibilities. The program will provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to: apply concepts and principles of management and organization, including the functions of planning, organizing, directing, and evaluating; human relations; communications, and leadership; and
Health Studies

to apply basic principles of business organizations and operations. Students may choose from among six areas of study within the B.S. in Health Studies degree program: Community Health, Pre-OT, Masters Degree Preparation,AllLevelHealthEducationTeachingCertification,Pre-DPT(FastTrack), and Pre-DPT (not Fast Track). Health studies majors who select the Community Health area of study are generally interested in pursuing employment within any of the aforementioned community health settings. Health studies majors who select the Pre-OT will prepare for the same community health employment opportunities and apply for early acceptance into the MOT program offered by the TWU School of Occupational Therapy (see Occupational Therapy in this catalog and graduate catalog). If accepted into the MOT program, Pre-OT students will begin OT courses at the beginning of their senior year. Health studies majors who select the Masters Degree Preparation area of study wish to pursue some other healthrelated masters degree program at TWU. This program allows students to enroll in masters program prerequisite coursework while completing their B.S. degree in Health Studies. Health studies majors who select the All Level Health Education Teaching area of study are interested in teaching Health Education at the elementary or secondary school level. Health Studies students who select the Pre-DPT (Fast Track) and the Pre-DPT (not Fast Track) will prepare for the professional DPT program in Physical Therapy. Students may be able to complete the majority of requirements for Health Studies while completing the prerequisites for Physical Therapy by the end of the junior year. Such an accredited program would potentially enable a student to complete a B.S. in Health Studies and the DPT in Physical Therapy in a total of six years. For students pursuing either the Community Health or BAS areas of study, the department offers an Online completion degrees in Health Studies Degree Program.

The student must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.75 for program acceptance. For acceptance into the Online Health Studies program, the student must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0. All Health Studies majors must maintain a minimum cumulative and Health Studies grade point average of 2.75 (with a minimum grade of C in all HS courses). Any Health Studies major whose GPA falls below the 2.75 minimum or earns a grade lower than C in any HS course will be placed on probation and given one semester to remediate the GPA or course grade. Total credit hours required:120. Students who are not in the Online Health Studies program may petition to take a Health Studies elective course online. Online Health Studies core courses are for online students only, unless approval is granted by the Online Committee. New incoming students who enroll in Health Studies online courses are required to come to the Denton campus once to attend an orientation session. Academic Policies: All Students The following policies apply to all students in the Health Studies Department. 1. A minimum grade of C is required in all courses in the Health Studies major. If a student earns a grade of D, F, or WF in a Health Studies course, that course must be repeated. A course in which a grade of less than C (D, F, or WF) was earned may be repeated only once. 2. A student who has earned a grade of less than C (D, F, or WF) twice in the same Health Studies course will be required to leave the Health Studies program. 3. Students receiving a grade of I, D, F or WF in a Health Studies course may not progress to courses for which that course is a prerequisite. 4. If the overall GPA goes below a 2.75, the student must raise it to 2.75 within two semsters. Any student with a GPA below 2.75 for two consecutive semesters will be required to leave the program. Honors Scholar Program The Health Studies Department provides the opportunity for students to participate in the Texas Womans University Honors Scholar Program. The program seeks to develop scholars with excellent technological, writing and research skills as well as clinical expertise. These skills will be developed through both enhanced course work and experimental learning in the department as well as related health agencies. To participate, students must meet the Texas Womans University Honors Scholar Criteria.

Aknowledgeoftheprinciplesofeffectivemovementthroughwellness,fitness, sport, and leisure as these relate to the social and economic issues is fundamental to general education. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College of Sports Medicine and the U.S. Surgeon General have concluded that physical activity protects against chronic diseases. There are a variety ofwellness/fitnessclassesavailablethatintegratethecoreofknowledgederived from the study of human movement and provide options and experiences known to promote healthy lifestyles. Special classes are available for students with physical disabilities. Students are encouraged to take wellness activity courses throughout their college experience. These courses have pass/fail options and are designed for individual goal achievement. Professional Programs Major programs in kinesiology lead to the Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The undergraduate Kinesiology degree program includes an academic core of kinesiologybasictothemovementsciences.Studentsstudyavarietyofscientifically based subjects including adapted physical eduation, biomechanics, exercise physiology, physical education pedagogy, and motor learning. A degree in Kinesiology leads to entry level positions in various professions such as Exercise Science, Corporate Fitness, Cardiac Rehabilitation, Physical Education, Coaching, Athletic Training, and Adapted Physical Education. Undergraduate students who plan to pursue careers in corporate wellness or health care settings in the private sector such as corporate wellness, cardiac rehabilitationorsportsmedicinewillchoosethenoncertificationexercisescience track. These students will take the Kinesiology core and a sequence of classroom and applied experiences in exercise related settings.

Occupational therapy is a health care profession whose members work to foster full participation in everyday life for persons with physical, cognitive, emotional, or societal restrictions. Occupational therapy is based on the premise that engagementinreallifeactivitiesinprescribedareaswithspecificgoalspromoteshealth and wellness. To enter a career as an occupational therapist a graduate degree is required. The School of Occupational Therapy participates in an accelerated plan of study on the Denton campus that is structured for students who are entering or currently engaged in undergraduate course work. This plan, the pre-OT degree plan, combines the undergraduate and graduate levels of study needed to become a registered occupational therapist. This type of plan is often referred to as a 3+2 program and potentially enables a student to complete the Master of Occupational Therapy degree in 5 years. The Pre-OT Degree Plan Five majors at Texas Womans University offer pre-OT degree plans. Undergraduates who want to prepare for application to the Master of Occupational

Therapy program select a major in child development, family studies, kinesiology, psychology,orhealthstudies.Pleaserefertotheseprogramsforspecificcourseand major information. TWU undergraduate core requirements, the required courses in the major, and the prerequisite courses for the Master of Occupational Therapy program are included in the pre-OT degree plan. All undergraduate advising is conducted within the major department. In addition to undergraduate advising within the major department, the School of Occupational Therapy hosts a mandatory information seminar each fall and spring semester. At the seminar pre-OT students receive information concerning the profession, network with current Master of Occupational Therapy students, and are updated on the Master of Occupational Therapy selection process. Transfer students Students can transfer any coursework from an accredited institution. The university and the major departments of child development, family studies, kinesiology, psychology, or health studies determine which courses may be applied to the undergraduate degree. It is expected that community college students will be able to transfer two years of coursework and be able to complete the undergraduate major requirements in no more than three semesters at TWU. Progress may be accelerated by transferring to TWU before completing an associate degree. Admission Process into School of Occupational Therapy Courses The fall preceding the last semester of undergraduate major coursework, pre-OT students may apply to the School of Occupational Therapy for approval to take occupational therapy courses. Enrollment in a pre-OT degree plan as an undergraduate student does not guarantee admission into occupational therapy courses. A predetermined number of students can be accepted based on availability of clinical facilities, space, and faculty. Entrance is competitive. Selection is based on: Academicperformance On-campusinterview Writingsample Therapistrecommendationaftercompletionof20volunteerhourswithan occupational therapist Totalnumberofstudentsthatcanbeadmittedintheprogram Application for approval to begin School of Occupational Therapy courses must be submitted by November 15th for the subsequent fall semester. Selection is made the January preceding the students completion of all requirements of their major with the exception of occupational therapy courses. Applicants who are not selected for admission into occupational therapy courses have ample time to meet with their undergraduate advisors, explore alternatives, adjust goals and plan for timely graduation in their major.

IF ACCEPTED INTO OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY COURSES, PROOF OF IMMUNIZATION RECORD AND A BACKGROUND CHECK WILL BE REQUIRED. The Master of Occupational Therapy program Pre-OT students who are approved to take occupational therapy courses begin taking them within the School of Occupational Therapy the fall semester following their approval. The undergraduate degree plan determines whether the student completes one or two semesters of occupational therapy courses as part of the undergraduate degree. One semester prior to undergraduate degree completion, students taking occupational therapy courses apply to the Graduate School. To be accepted into the Master of Occupational Therapy program as a graduate student the student must meet the requirements of the Graduate School and earn a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or above in all occupational therapy courses completed. Once accepted by the Graduate School pre-OT students transition from undergraduate to masters level and are admitted to the Master of Occupational Therapy program. To complete the Master of Occupational Therapy degree, the student must complete the remaining graduate course work in occupational therapy and six months of full-time occupational therapy internship. Further information about the Master of Occupational Therapy degree is available in the TWU Graduate Catalog. The Master of Occupational Therapy program is accredited by the Accreditation Council of Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE*). With successful completion of the Master of Occupational Therapy degree, the student iseligibletoapplyforthecertificationexaminationgivenbytheNationalBoard forCertificationofOccupationalTherapy(www.nbcot.org). Note: Students are advised that NBCOT may deny an individuals application to take the exam if he or she has a criminal felony conviction. The School of OT recommends that students with a felony conviction contact NBCOT for an early determination review. *ACOTE PO Box 31220 Bethesda, MD 20824-1220 301-652-2682 Example of a Typical Pre-OT Degree Plan The following sample Kinesiology degree plan illustrates the typical requirements to complete the undergraduate degree as a pre-OT student.

To enter a career as a physical therapist, a graduate degree is required. The School of Physical Therapy offers a professional doctor of physical therapy (DPT) degree for those entering the profession and M.S. and Ph.D. programs for those who already are physical therapists but who wish to pursue advanced studies. Undergraduate programs in various majors at Texas Womans University will prepare the student for application to the professional DPT program The School of Physical Therapy also offers a transitional DPT (tDPT) degree for licensed, or soon to be licensed, physical therapists with a masters degree to obtain a doctorate-level degree in physical therapy. The tDPT is a hybrid program, combining on-site and online content at both the Houston and Dallas campuses. Onsite component of classes typically consists of 2-3 weekends per semester, with the remainder online. A total of 90 approved post-baccalaureate semester credit hours are currently required for a doctoral degree; additional coursework may be required for students who hold MS degrees with fewer than 66 credits. Students interested in a career in physical therapy may earn a baccalaureate degreeinalmostanyfield.BybeginningthebaccalaureatecourseworkatTexas Womans University, the student has the opportunity to complete the prerequisites for the program while also completing the major requirements. At TWU special degree programs in human biology, kinesiology, and psychology are available, and include physical therapy prerequisites. Please refer to those sections of the catalog for more information.

Physical Therapy
Special Undergraduate (Accelerated Pre-Physical Therapy Program) Students may begin as freshmen at Texas Womans University and declare a major in human biology, kinesiology, or psychology with the intent of applying to the professional DPT program in physical therapy. Students are counseled by their major advisors and physical therapy faculty to develop a degree plan. Students may be able to complete the majority of requirements for these majors while completing prerequisites for physical therapy by the end of the junior year. Such an accelerated program would potentially enable a student to complete the B.S. in Human Biology/Psychology/Kinesiology and the DPT in Physical Therapy in a total of six years. Students in the human biology/psychology/ kinesiology (accelerated) sequence may apply to the professional program in physical therapy when they have junior standing according to the major curriculum, are in the process of completing all the major and Physical Therapy prerequisites requirements except for the eight hours in physical therapy, have met requirements for admission to the Graduate School and all other requirements for admission to the Physical Therapy program. Students in the accelerated sequence compete with other applicants for admission to the program in physical therapy. Doctor of Physical Therapy Program The School of Physical Therapy provides a comprehensive curriculum offering a professional degree at the doctoral level and is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Physical Therapy Education. Upon completion of course requirements for the professional degree, a graduate is eligible* to apply for licensure to practice physical therapy and for active membership in the American Physical Therapy Association. The School of Physical Therapy offers the doctoral program in both Dallas and Houston. The Dallas center is located adjacent to Presbyterian Hospital, and the Houston center is adjacent to the Texas Medical Center. The program begins in the fall of each year. Applicants must indicate the center for which they are applying. Facilities, equipment and faculty are excellent at both locations. Students at both locations are encouraged to have transportation available to visit clinical facilities at some distance from the centers. The professional doctoral degree in physical therapy is a 33-month, 98 semestercredit-hour program. Students are in class year round. As part of the professional curriculum requirements, students participate in additonal enrichment with patientrelated activities. During the second and third years students must be prepared to spend a total of 32 weeks at three different clinical sites which may necessitate additional expense for housing and transportation.
*Students must meet all requirements for licensure according to State Law and must not have committed any acts which would cause denial.

Completion of coursework does not guarantee that a student will be providedanaffiliationataspecifictimeorataparticularfacilityasthisdepends on the educational needs of the student and the availability of clinical facilities. However, every attempt will be made to plan a students affiliations in proper sequence. Application Requirements Application review begins in September and the deadline for receipt of materials is November 1st. Admission to the professional DPT curriculum in physical therapy is competitive and separate from admission to the University.
