PROPOSED INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAM
for the
STUDY
OF HUMAN MOVEMENT -
• The following paper represents a proposal to the Univer-
sity Senate for the development of an interdisciplinary Program
for the advancement of the study of human movement. The just-
ification for the development of such a program appears in
Appendix A. The areas of study of concern to the student of
human movement may be identified as being studies related to
human structure and function, human motor development and per-
formance, and the inter-relationships of human development and
social change. The program is designed to permit students to
concentrate their studies in these areas while satisfying the
requirements for a bachelors degree.
The course requirements for the proposed degree program.
are as followst
SCIENCE
REQUIREMENTS
The majority of the course requirements for the first two
years would be identical to those for all biology science majors
so that students might develop a basic foundation in the bio-
logical sciences before preceeding to a study of man with respect
to movement. It is anticipated that within these courses it will
be possible for students following this program to emphasize
animal, biology and in particular as it relates to man.

ARTS REQUIREMENT
In
that an understandiig of human movement must include
study of man as a social organism, it is further proposed that
a number of Arts courses be included within the course require-
ments for students following this proposed program.

PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT CENTRE REQUIREMENTS
In that many of the knowledges important to the study of
human movement are not presently systematically organized into
existing academic courses, the proposed program includes a
number of new courses to be taught by the Physical Development
Centre. (Course outlines are included in Appendix B.)

As there are many directions in which the study of human
movement may be pursued, it is proposed that the selection of
work for students wishing to follow an honors program in this
area. be
left to the discretion of the student with the approval
of his advisor. The honors program would, however, require
•
students to complete honors paper as well as satisfying the
credit hours requirement.
