RATIONALE:

As part of the changes to facilitate CCUPEKA accreditation, this course is moving to required status for Kinesiology Majors. In addition, the course content has been modified to reflect the requirement for it to be a more traditional Health/Exercise Psychology course. The course description and prerequisite changes are required to reflect this new status.

Does this course duplicate the content of a previously approved course to such an extent that students should not receive credit for both courses? No.

If so, please specify.
