Bachelor of ArtsBachelor of ScienceMaster of Arts

UNDERGRADUATE MAJORCommunication Disorders (BA, BS)

The undergraduate major in Communication Disorders isdesigned to provide a broad background in normal com-munication processes, an introduction to the techniquesand tools with which speech, language, and hearing dis-abilities are evaluated, and an introduction to the charac-teristics of disorders of communication in adults and chil-dren. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association(ASHA) explicitly recommends that the best preparationfor graduate work in communication disorders is a strongundergraduate background in liberal arts and sciences.The undergraduate major in communication disorders, inconjunction with the Truman general education curricu-lum, is designed to provide such preparation.

An undergraduate major in communication disordersdraws from the content and methodologies associated withmany closely related areas of study, such as linguistics(phonetics), psychology (language development), biology(anatomy of speech and hearing, audiology), physics(speech and hearing science), speech communication(voice and articulation), and education (principles of clini-cal practice, aural rehabilitation). Courses in the major arecarefully sequenced, leading to a senior-level culminatingexperience. Students choose a clinical or non-clinical cul-minating experience, depending upon their qualifications,interests, and long-term career goals.

Students who have questions about majoring in communi-cation disorders should contact the Program Director inCommunication Disorders (660-785-4669) for more infor-mation. The number of students permitted to major islimited.

Special FacilitiesThe Communication Disorders program staffs and main-tains the Truman State University Speech and HearingClinic. The Clinic has individual and group therapy rooms,observation facilities, and modern closed-circuit TV andvideotaping capabilities to facilitate supervision and obser-vation by student clinicians and client family members. Anaudiological testing suite is available for complete hearingevaluations. The Kenneth M. McGuire Clinical MediaCenter houses the Clinic’s extensive collection of diagnos-tic and therapy materials and is used by student cliniciansas they prepare for therapy and complete other case man-agement tasks. Student clinicians make use of the ClinicalComputing Lab to explore and prepare clinical applica-tions of computers for direct use with clients. Additionalmultimedia technologies readily available for use includeinteractive videodisc, CD-ROM, as well as both sound andvideo digitizing.

The Clinic is open throughout the academic year and sum-mer semesters, serving a local and regional population ofall ages. Members of the university community including

students, faculty, staff and their families are also served bythe Clinic. All Clinic services are provided under thesupervision of faculty who are licensed by the MissouriState Board of Registration for the Healing Arts and certi-fied by the American Speech-Language-HearingAssociation.

General InformationThe Bachelor’s degree in Communication Disorders canserve as strong preparation for a number of careers whichrequire specialized graduate level study, including speech-language pathology, audiology, special education, and oth-ers in health, education, or communication-related fields.It is considered a pre-professional degree by the AmericanSpeech-Language-Hearing Association. Undergraduatemajors are encouraged to consider graduate educationalternatives, and assisted in making plans to do so.Master’s level work is required in order to obtain profes-sional credentials such as certification by the AmericanSpeech-Language-Hearing Association, Missouri StateTeaching Certification, and the state licensure from theMissouri State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts.

Courses designated as Required Support for the major inCommunication Disorders are chosen to help students meeta variety of certification requirements. Substitutions shouldbe taken only after consultation with an academic advisorwho is well-informed about the details of the curriculum.

All student majors must observe a minimum of 25 clockhours of evaluation and/or intervention services asapproved by the Truman Communication Disorders facul-ty. These observations normally take place in the TrumanSpeech and Hearing Clinic. Note that observations mustbe completed as a prerequisite to enrolling for eitherundergraduate or graduate level clinical practicum (CMDS480, CMDS 681).

A distinguishable feature of the Health Science program isits focus on accountability. In addition to the comprehen-sive testing program of the University, all required healthcourses incorporate pre/post testing to determine achieve-ment of educational objectives. The Health Science gradu-ate will also demonstrate a high level of health knowledgeas assessed by a senior exit examination. Health Sciencefaculty and the University have selected and approved theCertified Health Education Specialist (CHES) examinationas the measure of this competency. This feature affordsour students to obtain validation of their educationthrough a nationally recognized examination in their spe-cialized field of study. Truman is amongst the handful ofinstitutions in the country to provide this opportunity fortheir Health Science graduates.The program culminates in a four-credit, 200-hourrequired field experience. Depending on the student'sspecialized interest, the field experience provides opportu-nities to design and implement programs in a organiza-tional setting under the supervision of highly qualifiedprofessionals in the field, working in cooperation with adivision supervisor. The experience allows for the applica-tion of theory and knowledge in a practical setting.

HEALTH SCIENCE PATTERNS✦ To provide the opportunity for students to explore anddevelop more specialized interests, the Health Science cur-riculum allows the selection of one career pattern rangingfrom 19-32 hours. Courses comprising the program pat-terns are based upon the recommendations of facultymembers whose expertise is identified with these special-ties. Individualized patterns may also be designed to meetpersonal goals. A copy of specific courses for each of thepatterns can be obtained in the Health and ExerciseSciences Program office. A brief description of each pat-tern is provided below.

Community Health (19 Hours): The Community HealthEducator may be employed in voluntary agencies (RedCross, American Lung Association, Women’s HealthClinics, etc.), local agencies (private companies, HMO’s,PPO’s, hospitals, etc.), county or state agencies (healthdepartments), or federal agencies (CDC, U.S. Departmentof Health, etc.). The specific job may be a one-on-oneapproach (HIV/AIDS Educator) or it may involve an entirestate, as in the case of coalition building. Leadership, abili-ty to work independently, health knowledge, and a vastresource library are the principle ingredients that make upthe Community Health Educator. It is not unlikely that aperson in this position would be responsible for grant pro-posals or alternative sources of funding, especially whenemployed with voluntary agencies. In addition, the healtheducator may have some research and writing responsibili-ties. Therefore, this individual should have excellent writ-ing and oral communication skills. The expectation ofmost employers is to minimize or eliminate illness andinjury through the assessment, planning, implementation,and evaluation of quality health education/health promo-tion programs.

Health Administration (19 Hours): The individual inter-ested in Health Administration must be able to effectivelyserve as a supervisor or leader while at the same timeanswer to the organization or governing body of the partic-ular health facility. Managers and supervisors in healthadministration positions may be called upon anytime ofthe day or week to solve problems, therefore the individualmust be willing to be responsible for a facility that remainsopen 24 hours per day/7 days per week. This graduate willmanage a facility that employs a number of the communitymembers from the higher socioeconomic groups (physi-cians, nurse managers, pharmacists, etc.). These areautonomous people working as a team to provide care forthe sick, injured, and debilitated. Considering these facts,the legal concerns that come with the management of suchfacilities rivals any other form of management with regardsto liability. The individual should be a highly motivatedself-starter to resolve the daily management concerns asso-ciated with the health care industry. Additional qualitiesinclude a self-paced individual who stays in control understress, one who possesses excellent communication skills,and has a good general knowledge of health facilities.Some of these qualities can be developed with time andeducation. Employment opportunities are found in volun-tary agencies, health departments, hospitals, state agen-cies, and federal agencies. Refer to the descriptions above

for specific employment opportunities. Entry-level posi-tions may be found in some aspect of personal manage-ment or as an assistant administrator. To be successful, thegraduate must have a solid background in humanresources, legal aspects of health care, marketing, andhealth services. Expectations of the employer are to hire anindividual who can lead a health care organization in acompetent and professional manner.

Pre-Medicine (32 Hours): The pre-medicine pattern withinthe Health Science major is designed to prepare a studentto take the MCAT examination, which is required foradmission to medical school. The pre-medicine pattern is aviable option for those who are interested in family prac-tice, preventative medicine, or pediatrics. Students arerequired to take class work in biology, chemistry, andphysics in addition to the program focus required of ahealth science major. The solid Health Science backgroundis excellent for a physician who will be working in a ruralarea as a general practitioner. Students must maintain a3.25 GPA to remain in the pattern.

Pre-Occupational Therapy (20-23 Hours): This pattern isdesigned to prepare a student for admission into a gradu-ate program in Occupational Therapy. Students arerequired to complete a 200-hour clinical experiencepracticum. Course work includes human anatomy, coursesin manual manipulation, kinesiology, and psychology. Tobe a viable candidate for admission to a graduate programin occupational therapy a student must maintain a GPA of3.25 or higher. Graduate admission is generally granted tostudents with a 3.5 GPA or higher.

Pre-Physician's Assistant (26-28 Hours): The Pre-Physician's Assistant pattern is designed to prepare stu-dents for entry into an advanced degree program thatwould lead to certification as a Physician's Assistant.Physician Assistant (PA) programs prepare the student tooperate as a mid-level practitioner in family practice, pre-ventative medicine, or pediatric settings, under the supervi-sion of a physician. In addition to course work in biology,chemistry, physics, and psychology, the student must planto gain experience in a medical-related setting throughoutthe college experience. Physician Assistant graduate pro-grams are now requiring 2000+ hours of experience inhealth settings prior to admission. It is strongly advised thatthe student start to develop a related work dossier uponentry to the university to be able to complete the requiredhours for admission into graduate schools. Students mustmaintain a 3.00 GPA to remain in this pattern.

Public Health/Epidemiology (19 Hours): Public Health iswhere many relate the origins of the other HealthEducation Programs. In many instances, some treat PublicHealth and Community Health in the same domain. Inour case, we will treat Public Health separately fromWorksite or Community Health. Public Health, at thisUniversity, is a program developed for those who are inter-ested in research and an epidemiological approach to con-trolling and educating about health problems. It is expect-ed that most who complete this program will continue onwith a Masters in Public Health (MPH) program. However,there are several positions that might be considered by anindividual with a Public Health emphasis at the Bachelorslevel. Local, state and federal agencies interested in collect-ing and compiling health data are continually looking forqualified individuals to function in entry-level positions.

In these positions, the graduate will most likely be respon-sible for some aspect of a research study as assigned. Thisdoes not preclude obtaining a position as a CommunityHealth Educator, given the same core of requirements isexpected of all graduates in Health Science. With the com-pletion of a MPH, the graduate will be qualified for manyupper-level research and management tasks in PublicHealth. The U.S. Department of Health, Centers forDisease Control, state health departments, and universitiesall seek candidates with this credential. Specific employ-ment opportunities include teaching, research, data collec-tion, and data analysis. Public Health requires a strongbackground in the sciences, health, and social sciences.Employer expectations of graduates are to identify, recom-mend, educate, and promote quality health care in thedefined area of employment.

Worksite Health (19 Hours): The Worksite HealthEducator may be employed in a business, company, corpo-ration, or federal agency. The environment is somewhatdifferent than the Community Health Educator. The envi-ronment for the Worksite Health Educator is to a largeextent, contained within the facility of hire. However, thismay involve many community programs and health per-sonnel outside of the agency. Therefore, the WorksiteHealth Educator must have expertise in health content,exercise science, and program planning. Employers expectthat the Worksite Health Educator will reduce the cost ofcompany health expenses, absenteeism, and overtimethrough assessment, planning, implementation and evalua-tion of illness and injury programs. With these expecta-tions, the graduate must have a wide background in thesciences, health content areas, social sciences, and exerciseprogramming. They are expected to work independentlyand in a professional manner. The opportunities in thisfield have been steadily growing over the past decade andvary significantly among various businesses. For example,some companies expect the health educator to emphasizefitness programs while others expect a total commitmentto health content and skill development. However, thereare many opportunities found in-between these twoextremes. The expectation of most employers is to mini-mize or eliminate illness and injury through the assess-ment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of qualityhealth education programs.

Individualized: The individualized pattern is designed tosupport the development of special support areas not avail-able from the normal selection. This pattern must be rele-vant to the career goals of the student and must be onethat would logically follow from the courses included withthe major. This pattern is not a "catch-all" for coursestaken that do not fit the published degree requirements.Individualized patterns must be submitted to the ProgramDirector by the academic advisor for approval. The individ-ualized pattern should be agreed upon early to facilitatecourse sequence planning.

TEACHING CERTIFICATIONFOR HEALTH SCIENCE MAJORSStudents interested in becoming Health Education teach-ers within the public school system should complete theCommunity Health pattern in addition to the followingthree Education courses: ED 389 Foundations ofEducation, ED 393 Clinical Experiences in Teaching, andED 593 Psychological Foundations of Education. HealthScience students completing any other pattern must com-

plete one additional course, HLTH 360 School HealthPrograms, in addition to the three indicated Educationclasses. Because of the background required, it is stronglyrecommended that SOAN 190 be taken for the SocialScientific Requirement in the LSP. Students must also takeHIST 104 or HIST 105 to meet the Historical Mode ofInquiry, as well as POL 161 to meet the Missouri Statuterequirement. Successful completion of the above classeswould partially fulfill the undergraduate requirements foradmission into the graduate MAE program in HealthEducation.

EXERCISE SCIENCE MAJORThe Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science is pred-icated on a strong liberal arts and sciences foundation.The Exercise Science curriculum is designed to preparestudents for careers in exercise physiology, cardiac rehabili-tation/wellness, sport and recreation management, athletictraining, and for coaching and teaching positions in thepublic schools; as well as graduate study in medicine,physical therapy, sport psychology and sociology, andphysician's assistant programs.

The primary purpose of the Exercise Science program is toproduce enlightened individuals who are prepared both toenter graduate schools and to make a living. More specifi-cally, graduates of the Exercise Science program should:1. Gain background through general studies in the sym-

bolics of information, the humanities, and the naturaland behavioral sciences;

2. Gain knowledge in Exercise Science subject matter andin allied fields;

3. Develop competency in Exercise Science and athleticskills and activities appropriate for children, youth andadults at various stages of development;

4. Develop competency to select and utilize methods mosteffective for all aspects of Exercise Science and to under-stand and use appropriate evaluation procedures;

5. Gain knowledge of teaching and learning theory inExercise Science as demonstrated in laboratory andpracticum experiences.

6. Develop competency to enable the Exercise Sciencemajor to understand, interpret, and apply research find-ings and have knowledge of research techniques suitablefor the evaluation of program effectiveness;

7. Gain understanding of the different environments,learning processes, learning experiences, and multicul-tural variables that is featured in the role of the exercisescientist.

In addition to the comprehensive testing program of theUniversity, all required exercise science courses incorporatepre/post testing to determine achievement of educationalobjectives. Students are also required to demonstrate com-

petency in the analysis of sports skills and in identifyingthe mechanical principles of performance.

Students will receive professional training and backgroundthrough undergraduate research and diversified field expe-riences. Opportunities for additional research and creativeprojects will be provided for those students interested inpursuing advanced study. More than 60 percent ofExercise Science majors present their findings at interna-tional, national, state or local professional conferences orpublish their work nationally. This opportunity allows stu-dents to become producers, rather than consumers, ofknowledge. The program's Human PerformanceLaboratory and Biomechanics/Motor Learning Laboratoryare well equipped to investigate the effects of exercise onphysiological and psychological responses. Students oftenfind research to be an exciting and challenging approachto learning. It is especially rewarding when the results canbe applied to practical situations such as enhancing mus-cle strength, altering exercise programs, or devising newapproaches to measuring physical performance.

The program in Exercise Science culminates in a four-cred-it, 200-hour required field experience. Depending on thestudent's specialized interest, the field experience providesopportunities to design and implement programs in aorganizational setting under the supervision of highlyqualified professionals in the field, working in cooperationwith a division supervisor. The experience allows for theapplication of theory and knowledge in a practical setting.

EXERCISE SCIENCE PATTERNS✦ To enable the students to explore and develop morespecialized interests, the Exercise Science curriculumallows the selection of one career pattern ranging from 21-34 hours. Individualized patterns may also be designed tomeet personal goals. A copy of the specific courses foreach of the patterns can be obtained from the Health andExercise Sciences program office. A brief description ofeach pattern is provided below.

Athletic Training (21 Hours): The athletic training patternis designed to prepare students to successfully pass theNATABOC (National Athletic Trainers’ Association Boardof Certification) exam and enter the field of athletic train-ing as a certified athletic trainer. Students will spendapproximately 20 hours a week in a program of progres-sive clinical experiences gaining the skills necessary to per-form the duties of a certified athletic trainer. In addition tothe exercise science requirements such as anatomy, physi-ology, nutrition, biomechanics, and exercise physiology,students will complete the athletic training pattern coursesincluding: basic and advanced athletic training, athleticinjury evaluation, rehabilitation of athletic injures, thera-peutic modalities, and athletic training room management.The athletic training pattern is accredited by CAAHEP(Committee for Accreditation of Allied Health EducationPrograms). Formal application to the pattern is required.Application involves a completed application form, two let-ters of recommendation, an interview with the head andtwo assistant athletic trainers, and a four -year commit-ment to the athletic training pattern. Application forms canbe obtained by writing to the head athletic trainer, orprinting them from the web site(www2.truman.edu/~es47/athome2.htm). Applicationsmust be received before March 1. Acceptance into the pro-gram is determined by the certified athletic training staffand is based on: the student’s potential to successfullycomplete cognitive and psychomotor competencies andproficiencies, aptitude to maintain a 3.0 grade point aver-age in all academic course work while completing 20hours a week of clinical experience, commitment to pursu-ing a career in athletic training, and the number of vacantspaces available. Specific details are included with theapplication materials. A minimum GPA of 3.00 is requiredto enter and remain in this pattern.

Exercise Physiology (23-25 Hours): The ExercisePhysiology pattern is designed to prepare students forgraduate school or an entry-level position in clinical exer-cise physiology. The pattern develops extensive knowledgeof the body under the adaptive stress of exercise includingthe study of body composition, energy metabolism, cardio-vascular function, muscular strength and development,neuromuscular integration, and thermal regulation. Anemphasis is placed on development of a research-basedapproach to investigating physiological phenomena.Students who wish to enter clinical exercise physiology(cardiac rehabilitation) have the option to specialize theirexercise physiology studies with advanced studies in EKGinterpretation, pathophysiology, pharmacology, and behav-ior modification.

Physical Education/Health/Coaching (30-34 Hours):Students who select this pattern are interested in the MAEprogram and in coaching while teaching PhysicalEducation or Health Education. Because of the back-ground required, it is strongly recommended that SOAN190 be taken for the Social Scientific Requirement in theLSP. Students must also take HIST 104 or HIST 105 tomeet the Historical Mode of Inquiry, as well as POL 161 tomeet the Missouri Statute requirement. Completion of ES179 and ES 186 as part of the Exercise Science activityrequirements must also occur. Completion of this pattern,including three Education courses (ED 389, ED 393, andED 593), would partially fulfill the undergraduate require-ments for admission into the graduate MAE program inExercise Science.

the MAE Admission requirements in the Graduate Sectionof the catalog.

Pre-Medicine (32 Hours): The pre-medicine pattern isdesigned to prepare a student to take the MCAT examina-tion, which is required for admission to medical school.The pre-medicine pattern within the exercise science pro-gram is viewed as a viable choice for those who are inter-ested in the orthopedic/sports medicine aspect of physi-cian care. The required courses in biomechanics, kinetics,exercise physiology, motor learning and sport psychologyor sport sociology provide a solid foundation for the sportsmedicine/team physician. A minimum GPA of 3.25 isrequired for this pattern.

Pre-Physical Therapy (28-29 Hours): This pattern isdesigned to prepare the student for admission into a mas-ter’s degree program in physical therapy. Students arerequired to obtain a minimum of 200 hours of clinicalexperience in a physical therapy setting. Course workincludes human anatomy, therapeutic modalities, physicalrehabilitation and evaluation, as well as physics and psy-chology. The pre-physical therapy pattern requires the stu-dent to maintain a minimum GPA of 3.25. A Studentfalling below the required GPA will be required to selectanother pattern. Graduate admission is generally grantedto students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher.

Pre-Physician's Assistant (25-28 Hours): The Pre-Physician's Assistant pattern is designed to prepare stu-dents for entry into an advanced degree program thatwould lead to certification as a Physician's Assistant.Physician Assistant (PA) programs prepare the student tooperate as a mid-level practitioner in family practice, pre-ventative medicine, or orthopedic settings (sports medi-cine), under the supervision of a physician. In addition tocourse work in biology, chemistry, physics, and psychology,the student must plan to gain experience in a medical-related setting throughout the college experience.Physician Assistant graduate programs are now requiring2000+ hours of experience in health settings prior toadmission. It is strongly advised that the student start todevelop a related work dossier upon entry to the universityto be able to complete the required hours for admissioninto graduate schools. Students must maintain a 3.00 GPAto remain in this pattern.

Psycho-Social Aspects of Sport (27 Hours): The psycho-social aspects of sport pattern is designed to prepare stu-dents for entry into graduate training in sport psychology,sport sociology, or counseling. This pattern employs aninterdisciplinary approach requiring courses from exercisescience, psychology, and sociology based upon theAdvancement of Applied Sport Psychology’s certificationmodel. Students will explore, through coursework, thebasic content of areas of social and psychological theoryand specific content areas of applied sport psychology andsport sociology. This coursework will lead to a minor inpsychology. This pattern prepares students to enter intograduate programs that emphasize teaching and conduct-ing scholarly research in psychology/sociology of sport orcounseling.

Sport and Recreation Management (22-25 Hours): Thispattern is designed to prepare Exercise Science majors forleadership positions in the fields of sport and recreation.Individuals with careers in sport management maintain a

variety of positions that help direct competitive sportorganizations such as high school, intercollegiate or profes-sional athletic programs. Recreation is a broad field thatencompasses diverse organizations (YMCA/YWCA, Parks& Recreation departments) and highly specialized settings(golf/ski resorts). Careers in recreation focus on the lead-ership of broad-based programs that seek to maximize par-ticipation. The curriculum, with a foundation in the sci-ences supplemented by business and specialized courses,will foster an interdisciplinary perspective on ExerciseScience and enable students to pursue graduate degrees insport and recreation management.

Individualized: The individualized pattern is designed tosupport the development of special support areas not avail-able from the normal selection. This pattern must be rele-vant to the career goals of the student and must be onethat would logically follow from the courses included withthe major. This pattern is not a "catch-all" for coursestaken that do not fit the published degree requirements.Individualized patterns must be submitted to the ProgramDirector by the academic advisor for approval. The individ-ualized pattern should be agreed upon early to facilitatecourse sequence planning.

Graduationa. Must have a nursing major requirements cumulative

grade point average of 2.50 or above.b. Must have a total cumulative grade point average of 2.50

or above.c. Must have a “C” or better in all Nursing courses.

Special CircumstancesOccasionally circumstances alter a student’s ability toachieve goals within a specified time frame. If an unusualproblem should occur, the student is to contact his/heradvisor in order to explore the student’s options. A peti-tion which enables the student to explain circumstancessurrounding a problem is available from advisors.

Each student’s situation is considered on an individualbasis. The procedure is to meet with the advisor and topetition for faculty approval, clearly stating the rationalefor the request. Failure to meet all academic requirementsof the nursing program may result in withdrawal from thenursing major.

Dropping BackStudents who decide they would like to drop back toanother class are advised that space availability and eachstudent’s pattern of achievement are major factors in theapproval of such a change. Competition for space in eachclass mandates that, as spaces become available, they arefilled with those most qualified. Usually this means that aqualified student will be advanced from a lower class.

There are situations, however, where it is justifiable that astudent drops back.

ReinstatementStudents who are requesting to be reinstated into the nurs-ing program must submit the following information to theStudent Affairs Committee:a. A new admission/application form.b. One letter of recommendation from Truman faculty or

academic advisor.c. An up-to-date transcript.d. A letter (in lieu of petition) regarding resolution of

problems that necessitated withdrawal. Additional infor-mation may be required to support problem resolution(i.e. letter of recommendation from employer or copy ofemployment evaluation). These materials are to be sentto the Student Affairs Committee.

Special EquipmentNursing students will be expected to have the followingequipment: tape recorder, stethoscope, sphygmomanome-ter, complete uniform, watch with capability for measuringseconds, bandage scissors, name pin, pen light, malprac-tice insurance, and access to an automobile (beginningwith the fall semester of the junior year).

Health PolicyPrior to initial entry into clinical courses, students arerequired to demonstrate compliance with nursing programhealth policies as outlined in the Nursing Program StudentHandbook. Students absent from the program for morethan one (1) year are required to submit updated evidenceof health status. All students in clinical courses areinstructed in the use of procedures for the prevention oftransmission of infectious diseases.

Missouri State Board of Nursing Licensure InformationAccording to Section 335.066, Missouri Statutes, completionof Nursing Program requirements does not guarantee eligi-bility to write the licensure examination (for the completeprovisions of 335.066, see Nursing Program StudentHandbook).
