HEAL 

DECEMBER 19, 180 

Action undertaken by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate 

Studies at its meeting of December 9, 1980 gives rise to the follow- 

ing motion: 

MOTION: 

?

?

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to 

the Board of Governors, as set forth in S.81-18, 

the proposed Honors Program in Occupational 

Health Science, including 

1) Lower division requirements 

ii) Upper division requirements." 

S

In discussion it was observed that there is a proposal for 

an Extended Studies Diploma in Occupational Health Science, for an 

Honors Program in Occupational Health Science, for a Minor Program in 

Occupational Health Science, but not for a Major Program. The 

Committee gave consideration to the title proposed for the Honors 

Program and noted that the overall topic of identifying degrees and 

possible subdivisions would be further considered by SCAP. An 

individual who embarks on the Honors Program who later wished to 

change direction would have minimum difficulty in transferring to the 

Major Program in Kinesiology.

RATIONALE FOR AN HONORS PROGRAM IN OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SCIENCE 

During the discussion of approving an Extended Studies Diploma 

program in Occupational Health Science, it became apparent that the 

present undergraduate students in the University cannot benefit 

from the availability of the new courses as admission to EXD is 

limited to those who already have a degree or equivalent post-secondary 

education, Those who have no background in Human Anatomy and 

Physiology may have to take these courses as prerequisites. Thus, 

by incorporating present upper division required courses in Kinesiology 

and proper selection of other upper division IKinesiology courses, 

an Honors program can be made available for the Kinesiolog', Biology, 

or Biochemistry undergraduates. 

Even though the demand for an Occupational Health Scientist 

may be increasing in the future, it is the desire of the Department 

to poduce onlya i imi ted .number of top quality graduates. 

The lower division requirements will be similar to that proposed 

for an Applied Physiology Honors program.
