Out of divisional plans will come one long-range strategic plan for the University. The Department adopted a strategic planning structure as presented by Van Fleet and Peterson in their text on Contemporary Management. All of these variables, inherent in their respective environments, culminate in an aggressive projected strategic plan of action. The Department of Health Professions, Physical Education, Recreation and Leisure Studies is in the College of Education and Human Services of the University. There are two secretaries and one administrative assistant.
Faculty teach courses in both general education and the major.
The department teaches 3,200 students annually in the general education requirement courses. There are 97 students in the graduate programs in Health and Physical Education. See tables 3 and 4 for student profiles. In all programs students earn the Bachelor of Science degree. In addition to the academic arena, faculty are very active in the administrative and political life on campus.
