This course provides an in-depth exploration of the recruiting process across all three divisions of the NCAA. We explore the entire recruiting process including identifying prospects, understanding your product, creating a brand, networking with allies, developing a recruiting strategy, recruiting through social media, understanding NCAA recruiting rules, generating strong communication with recruits and parents, attracting recruits from diverse backgrounds, implementing creative on campus visits, managing a recruiting budget and exploring recruiting software programs.

This course introduces selected topics in ethics and philosophy of sport as they relate to coaching and the broader conception of sport in our culture. Drawing on case studies and contemporary sources, the course examines beliefs about the value of competitive sport, its relationship to higher education and its implication for coaches. Students will develop and articulate their own coaching philosophy and discuss related topics. ESS graduate students only. Enrollment limited to 20.

The administration of sport and athletic teams is the major focus of this course. Topics include planning, organizing, directing and controlling various facets including scheduling, purchasing, budgeting and recruiting of a sports program. Limited to those enrolled in ESS 505 and 506.

Exercise, sport and outdoor activities all require energy. The study of these energetic events is the basis of this course. We study how the body adapts to repeated bouts of physical activity and how the body can perform a single event. This course is highly applied. Short lectures accompanied by relevant laboratory experiences. This course also counts toward the major in biological sciences. Prerequisite: BIO 200 or ESS 260 or equivalent. Enrollment limited to 12.

In this course, students investigate neuromuscular mechanisms of human postural control to understand how perception and action are coupled to achieve complex movements, including locomotion. Students also evaluate how movement coordination is developed and is influenced by aging and dysfunction. Students are exposed to advanced techniques of human movement analysis and develop and test a novel research question. This course is designed for students with an interest in neuroscience, physical or occupational therapy, biomedical engineering and medicine.

This course will examine the structures and physiology of human body systems. It is a study of the structure and function of the human body including cells, tissues and organs of the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems, as well as the special senses. This course will emphasize the interrelationships among body systems and regulation of physiological functions. This 4-credit course will pair lecture and laboratory sections to investigate the structure and function of the human body. Enrollment limited to 20.

An introduction to the science of human nutrition. Topics include digestion, absorption and transportation of nutrients in the body, and the way nutrients are used to support growth and development and maintain health. We also examine how personal dietary choices affect nutritive quality of the diet and the health of an individual. The relationship between diet and health is explored throughout the course. Special topics include diet, cardiovascular disease, body composition, bone health and vegetarianism. High school chemistry recommended but not required. Enrollment limited to 30.
