UALR - College of Science and Math

Department of Health Sciences

To provide an educational foundation preparing our students to develop into successful professional educators, or specialized health, fitness, and wellness programmers in campus, corporate, industrial, commercial, community, and clinical agencies. Cognitive course work, teaching methods, educational foundations, skill acquisition and practical teaching experiences are just part of the educational process. These experiences, in concert with a basic liberal arts curriculum, afford the individual the opportunity to become a certified secondary health and physical educator. An additional goal of Leisure Science and the Wellness Program is to make available a healthy lifestyle for UALR students, faculty, staff and the community through lifetime activities.
