In collaboration with the College of Education and Social Services, the College of Nursing and Health Sciences, the Department of Psychological Science is proposing an undergraduate certificate in Physical Activity Promotion in Children and Youth.  This certificate program will provide undergraduate students with a foundation in the approaches, methods, and techniques in successfully engaging children and youth in physical activity. The certificate program will engage students in substantive and integrative learning experiences across disciplines, specifically psychology, education, and exercise and movement science. Students will also gain hands-on research experience while assisting with the implementation of a physical activity curriculum to children in local educational settings.
