COURSE DESCRIPTION

Proposed Courses:

Kines 81: Wellness Theory (GHA). Rostick

This specific section of Wellness Theory is designed to engage students in acquiring knowledge and experience concerning the variations in lifestyles in Germany, the United States and in Mediterranean countries.  This course focuses on preparing and engaging students in the attitudes and behaviors that enhance health, quality of life and maximize personal potential.  Comparisons will be made between the USDA’s Food Guide Pyramid, the German food pyramid and the Mediterranean diet pyramid.  The Mediterranean pyramid has been shown to promote a healthy lifestyle most successfully, so comparisons to it will be the central focus of study.  The course will examine not only the foods associated with the various diets but also the social milieu and physical activity portions of German, Mediterranean and US diet pyramids.  Comparisons will also be made concerning lifestyle choices on health and wellness. 

A look into the types of diseases that are most prevalent in the US, Germany and Mediterranean areas will be examined to determine if eating habits, levels of physical activity and other lifestyle choices make any impact on the health and wellness of the people living in these countries. 

A minimum of one week visit to Germany is a required feature of this section of the course. 

BA 100. Intro to Business (GS). Fredericks

Introduction to Business BA 100 will provide students with an understanding of the basic business concepts and terminology along with a comprehensive view of the contemporary business environment as they would apply to decision making within any organization.
