Topics in Strength and Conditioning course and Introduction to Olympic Weightlifting would be taught in load by faculty/academic staff In turn only one section of Conditioning for Interscholastic Sports would be offered per semester Staffing of this minor would be accomplished through the utilization of current faculty with content area expertise or an academic staff member in the UWW athletics department who is on partial contract with the HPERC Department Student Need and Demand A) Student Demand A comprehensive student survey was conducted which demonstrated an overwhelming desire on behalf of the current student population for a focused minor in sport management Method: During the Spring 2014 semester the ACTIVE student organization comprised of an executive board of HHPR students developed a comprehensive survey to better understand the career and professional development needs and interests of current students This survey was developed in survey monkey, featured 12 open ended questions, and was distributed to all students enrolled in the Health, Human Performance and Recreation emphasis This survey was utilized as a pilot study to gather qualitative data to guide the development of a quantitative Fall study Results identified student dissatisfaction with current minor offerings; namely, and a lack of specificity to current curriculum Students noted this lack of specificity in their academic program emphasis minors made them less marketable than students state and region wide Qualitative analysis provided evidence that students had strong interest in more specific minor options to meet career goals and be marketable to potential employers Areas of highest interest included strength and conditioning and sport management This information was triangulated with market information and data (Bureau of Labor Statistics) as well as job descriptions of entry level positions in the field (attached) This process demonstrated a clear growth and development of the number of jobs in the sport and strength and conditioning fields Building from this pilot qualitative study, a quantitative survey was developed in Fall 2014 A sample of current HPERC students (131 respondents, 121 completed surveys) completed a survey electronically (Qualtrics) during a Fall 2014 class • • • • • • Legal Aspects of Sport and Recreation Commercial and
