COLLEGE OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

The College of Health, Education, and Human Development provides students the means by which to pursue careers in the fields of nursing, education, health, and recreation management. The "Engaged College with a Personal Touch" is home to the academic programs offered by the School of Nursing; the Eugene T. Moore School of Education; the Department of Public Health Sciences; and the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management. In addition to the academic areas, the College offers outreach services available through the Joseph F. Sullivan Center, the National Dropout Prevention Center; and the Outdoor Laboratory. Collaboration within the college between academics and community outreach services prepares students to be professional leaders in health, education, and recreation management. As with all programs at the University, students will take course offerings from all colleges on campus to achieve the most complete education possible.

EUGENE T. MOORE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION

The mission of the Eugene T. Moore School of Education is to prepare caring and capable professionals through intellectually engaging experiences in theory, method, and research that connect them to the communities in which they live and serve. The Eugene T. Moore School of Education trains teachers, counselors, and leaders for the K?12 schools and training and development specialists for business and industry.

TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS

The Eugene T. Moore School of Education Conceptual Framework guides the School's work as a unit. It is consensus-based and provides the foundation for all that is done. It addresses the fundamental issues of what students need to know (knowledge), what they need to be able to do (skills), what they value (dispositions), and how they interface with their communities, large and small (connections). The Conceptual Framework, simply stated, is to prepare caring, capable, and connected professionals for the twenty-first century.

The Teacher Education Programs prepare teachers, provide professional services to education in South Carolina, and carry out basic and applied research in education. Curricula are designed to provide a broad general education through liberal arts and science courses, develop depth of knowledge in the teaching area, gain an understanding of the historical, philosophical, and psychological backgrounds of American education, and acquire knowledge of and skill and experience in effective teaching techniques.

The Teacher Education Programs are accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) for the preparation of educational personnel in South Carolina in Early Childhood, Elementary, Special Education, and secondary school programs in Agriculture, Biological Sciences, Economics, English, History, Mathematics, Modern Languages, Physical Sciences, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Industrial Technology Education.

Admission

Professional--Application to the professional level of a program will be processed during the term in which a student is to complete 45 semester hours of work. At that time, the student will be notified of his/her status by the College's Academic Advising Center. Prior to admission, the student must have passed all areas of the Praxis 1 Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) and have a minimum cumulative grade-point ratio of 2.5.

Directed Teaching/Teaching Internship (Secondary)--A student shall apply to the field experience director prior to the semester in which directed teaching is to be scheduled. The following conditions must be met prior to registration for directed teaching: (1) admission to the professional level of a program; (2) completion of at least 95 semester hours; (3) a minimum cumulative grade-point ratio of 2.5. Students with a grade-point ratio of 2.25 to 2.5 may appeal to the Director of the School of Education, but exceptions are not common.

Enrollment in Professional Courses

Enrollment in 400-level professional education courses is contingent upon admission to the professional level as described above. Any student who desires to enroll in education courses must meet the cumulative grade-point requirements established for education majors. Appeals to continue taking classes may be made to the Chair of Teacher Education, but exceptions are not common.

Graduation

To graduate, a student must have a score report for all state-mandated certification exams on file with the Academic Advising Center in the College of Health, Education, and Human Development. Students must pass all required Praxis II tests, excluding PLT (Principles of Learning and Teaching) before becoming a program completer and receiving recommendation for certification.

LANGUAGE AND INTERNATIONAL HEALTH

Bachelor of Science

The Colleges of Health, Education, and Human Development and Architecture, Arts, and Humanities joingly administer the Language and International Health program. See the College of Architecture, Arts, and Humanities for the curriculum.

NURSING

Bachelor of Science

The Bachelor of Science degree program in Nursing prepares students for professional nursing practice in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, industry, clinics, and public health agencies. During the first two years, emphasis is on liberal arts and basic science courses arranged to provide a foundation for the nursing major. Junior and senior courses emphasize the study of nursing. Clinical nursing experiences, guided by the Nursing faculty, involve acute and community-based settings. Students are responsible for their own transportation to clinical laboratory experiences, which may extend throughout the Upstate.

Nursing majors are required to carry, throughout the clinical laboratory period, current and valid student nurses' professional liability insurance with minimum limits of liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 in aggregate. Documentation of such cov-erage must be provided to the Director of the School of Nursing. No student may participate in clinical learning activities without this insurance coverage.

To comply with clinical agency contract requirements and South Carolina law, students enrolled in nursing courses with a clinical laboratory must meet specific requirements listed in the School of Nursing Student Handbook.

The School of Nursing programs are accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, 350 Hudson St., New York, NY 10014; telephone (212) 989-9393, extension 451/153.

Entrance Requirements

To facilitate admission of students who can achieve at an appropriate level in the program, admission is selective. Consideration is given to performance in secondary school and on the College Board Examination (SAT). Those seeking admission are advised to apply to the University early in the fall of the senior year in high school.

Transfer admission is competitive and students are encouraged to apply early to the Office of Admissions. The University admits ten new transfer students to the Nursing major during the fall semester only. Potential students should have a minimum grade point ratio of 3.0 and completion of 30 semester hours of transferable courses. Placement in the nursing curriculum will be determined after credit evaluation is completed.

Students may change majors into Nursing based on approval of a committee of faculty from the School of Nursing. Applications are accepted each year during January with a deadline of January 31. Decisions are made by February 28. The School of Nursing accepts 48 changes of major per year with a start date of the following January into upper division (junior-level) nursing courses. Applicants should meet the following requirements prior to the semester of application: a minimum cumulative grade-point ratio of 2.75, completion of a minimum of two required sciences in the Nursing curriculum with a C or better. Selection priority is based on grade-point ratio and number of completed nursing prerequisites. Students are allowed to apply only twice. Detailed information is available from the Academic Advising Center in 309 Edwards Hall.
