Department Objectives
Health is a
dynamic multi-dimensional measure of the quality of life rather than
simply a freedom from illness. The Department of Health and Nutrition
Sciences promotes a holistic approach to health which focuses on
positive health habits and lifestyle. This includes incorporating
knowledge and skills, which enables the individual to assume personal
responsibility for health decisions with strategies that combine
educational, political, regulatory, and organizational supports for
actions and conditions conducive to the health of individuals, groups,
or communities. Disease prevention/health promotion coupled with the
treatment of diseases and disorders enables a person to achieve a
healthy, happy, productive life in all respects.
Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Health Education
There
is little doubt in today's world that health
promotion/disease prevention strategies are on nearly every national
health
care agenda. As a society, we have learned that a fuller measure of
health, a
better quality of life, is within the grasp of most all people. The
lifestyle
choices a person makes today may influence that individual's health
forever.
The
undergraduate program in health education is designed
to prepare students to teach preventive health strategies. More
specifically,
they learn to facilitate the voluntary adoption of actions which are
conducive
to the health of individuals, groups, or communities. To earn a degree,
each student
must complete the health education core requirements, and then complete
additional coursework and field experience in one of two emphasis areas (school health, community/worksite
health). An addiction studies options is
also available for students.

Learning Goals
The Department of Health Care Administration delivers state-of-the-art
education to traditional and nontraditional students using a
theoretical and programmatic approach. We address emerging industry
needs using innovative instructional methods to deliver valid
competencies and educational outcomes based on industry’s and our
constituency’s needs.
Specifically, we:
• prepare individuals for entry or mid-level
management positions in group practice, ambulatory care, long-term
care, hospitals, managed care organizations, and other health-related
organizations.
• develop administrative, technical, problem-solving, conceptual,
and human relations knowledge and skills that provide the foundation
for future healthcare administrators and leaders.
• use industry competency models and current evidence on teaching
and learning to provide student the best quality education possible.
• foster practical educational experiences and promote interaction
among students, alumni, and mentors in area and regional health
organizations.
• work with each student in the program to ensure proper placement
and professional development in administrative internships and initial
positions assuring an appropriate match between the individual and the
healthcare organization.
Health care facilities constitute some
of the most complex institutions in our society. These facilities and
the scope of their services are becoming more responsive to the
community they serve. The health care administrator is at the forefront
of these activities and is in demand in a number of organizations,
including hospitals, extended-care facilities, group practices,
insurance companies, state and federal health agencies, educational
programs and research institutions. The purpose of the undergraduate
program in health care administration at Idaho State University is to
prepare students for the wide range of activities needed for
administration of health care facilities and to provide service courses
for students majoring in other health-related programs. Also, the
program is designed to provide students with the basic requirements to
pursue a graduate degree in the field. The curriculum leads to a
Bachelor of Science degree in health care administration. Students may
enroll in the program at the beginning of any semester and must meet
requirements provided below:
Admission
and Program Graduation Requirements
Application forms for admission to the
major in health care administration can be accessed on line or can
be requested from the department office. Completed application
forms and copies of transcripts of previous college work must be

Bachelor of Science in Dietetics
Didactic
Program in Dietetics
(DPD)
The mission of the
Didactic
Program in Dietetics (DPD) program at Idaho State
University
is to provide courses for students to earn a Baccalaureate degree which
prepares students to enter into, and to successfully complete an
accredited
dietetic internship.
The
philosophy of the Idaho State University Dietetics
Program has been, since its inception, to educate individuals through
didactic
training and practical experiences in the field of dietetics, and to
develop
visionary and competent individuals who will be able to understand and
to solve
complex problems encountered by the professional dietitian. Practical
experiences are incorporated in both lecture and laboratory courses in
medical
nutrition therapy, food service systems management and community
nutrition.
Prospective
students should schedule a conference with the Program
Director. The requirements of the program, curriculum, supervised
practice
experience, and registration examination are explained to prospective
and
current students in the program.
Completion
of the required course work and attainment of
a Bachelor of Science degree in Dietetics makes one eligible to apply
for
admission into a Dietetic
Internship. The graduate must complete
a dietetic internship prior to becoming
eligible to take the National Registration Exam for Dietetians.
NOTE:
Enrollment in the Idaho
State University Didactic Program in Dietetics
and/or
fulfillment of specific requirements does not ensure admission
into the
Dietetic Internship Program.
