College of Education - Department of Health and Exercise Science
Message from the Chair
Greetings and welcome to the Rowan University Department of Health and Exercise Science Web Page. As our society is experiencing a large number of social, political and technological changes, so to will you find our department undergoing an unprecedented amount of new and exciting changes.
The three undergraduate specialization programs we offer have been redesigned to better prepare future professionals for the employment and further study. While we strive to remain on the cutting edge of our professions, we have kept the best interest of the student in mind. In order to accomplish this, we have listened to what the public wants in a professional as well as what the industries require for certification. You will find our academic programs are challenging, up to date and well respected in the professional community.
Our faculty and staff have continued to excel in a number of professional arenas. Dividing our time between teaching, scholarship, research and service, our faculty members continue to raise their own professional expectations and have emerged as leaders in the field. While teaching remains the paramount focus of our department, many of our faculty members have assumed positions of leadership in state, regional and national professional associations. Our efforts to outreach our services to the public are also evident through the many presentations, workshops and conferences we participate in. Our collective production of published scholarly and research articles continue to increase annually.
It is with great expectations that we will be part of the opening a new building in the late fall of 2005. As a department within the College of Education, we will be moving into a brand new facility that will offer our faculty and students extended space, high tech classrooms and 6 research labs. This move will provide great deal of new opportunities for future growth and professional development.
By design, a student in our department will have a number of opportunities to study with a diverse group of highly trained and qualified professionals in a cutting edge setting. All students will be given a number of opportunities to participate in research projects, get involved in professional associations and apply their developing professional skills under the guidance of a faculty member. We strive to take learning out of the formal classroom and to encourage our students to develop and apply their own knowledge, skills and dispositions to become a productive professional following their experience at Rowan.
Come join us and be a part of the educational adventure in the Department of Health and Exercise Science.
