College of Arts and Sciences
Program Goals The programs in the Department of Exercise and Sport Performance are designed to prepare graduates for progressively responsible positions in a variety of organizational  settings
dealing specifically with exercise and human performance in sport
and physical activity. By incorporating an emphasis on oral and written
communication abilities, and a values-based curriculum that emphasizes
the importance of diversity in the workplace and on teams, students
completing the requirements in any of the department's degree programs
are ideally situated for positions in today's rapidly changing environments
in a variety of settings including hospitals, sports medicine clinics,
schools, corporations, and with sports and/or fitness organizations.Curriculum Goals The Department of Exercise and Sport Performance, in its commitment to the College of Arts and Sciences Core Curriculum, has designed departmental degree curricula that reinforce the College of Arts and Sciences' core values of discovery, creativity, problem-solving, decision-making and critical thinking. The department further embraces the educational philosophy of physical education and sport: the development of the whole person through knowledge acquisition and experience that stress cognitive, affective and psychomotor outcomes. These outcomes are accomplished at UNE through a series of learning experiences that form a foundation of professional knowledge and skills. Additionally, all students in the Department of Exercise and Sport Performance are required to complete a series of clinical experiences or internships (depending upon the degree program) that are designed for further applied learning and professional development. These closely managed experiences are an integral part of the curricula and provide opportunities for the development and reinforcement of effective interpersonal, team, and organizational skills, along with the specific skills of the degree program. The Supporting Faculty The faculty in the Department of Exercise and Sport Performance of the University of New England bring a particular strength to the programs: they all have sound academic preparation and have strong professional and applied experience in their fields of specialization. The department's faculty members have worked in multiple settings, including (but not limited to): college/university athletic programs, public school athletic programs, YMCA programs, day and residential sport and recreational camps, club sport programs, corporate fitness programs, and teaching/consulting in domestic and international educational programs. They pride themselves on bringing over 90 years of both teaching and work experience to the learning environment, thereby facilitating the application of curriculum content to actual individual, team, and organizational settings. The Degree Programs The Department of Exercise and Sport Performance curricula focus on individual, team and organizational performance, through the following degree programs:
