The Department of Physiology and
Health Science offers a variety of programs in allied health
science, basic science, health promotion, disease prevention and
environmental health. Program emphases include anatomy and
physiology, community health education, public health, school health
education (leading to 7-12 certification), nuclear medicine
technology, radiation therapy, radiography, and respiratory therapy.
The latter four programs are offered in cooperation with Clarian
Health Partners, Inc. In addition, the department houses the Public
Health Entomology Laboratory and the national office of Eta Sigma
Gamma, the health education honorary.
ASSOCIATE DEGREES
Associate degree programs
prepare students for careers in nuclear medicine technology,
radiation therapy, and radiography. The first phase of the program
takes place on the Ball State campus. The second phase is offered in
Indianapolis, where medical, technical, and clinical courses are
taught at Clarian Health/Methodist Hospital and other affiliated
medical centers.
Students may apply for admission
to the professional/clinical phase of the programs when the
following minimum requirements are met: 14 hours of required courses
are successfully completed/earned; 3 of 6 math/science courses are
successfully completed/earned; C or better in required
math/science courses; 2.5 overall GPA from ONLY required preclinical
courses; must meet with Terrie L. Greenwalt, Primary Departmental
Advisor. Due to the limited number of clinical phase spaces
available, all students who meet minimum admission requirements may
not be admitted to the clinical phase. Acceptance to the
professional/clinical part of the programs is conditional, based
upon satisfactory completion of the remaining required courses and
an application process. Interested students should contact the
Department of Physiology and Health Science for information specific
to their desired plan of study.
BACHELOR’S DEGREES
Two of the bachelor degree
programs prepare students for careers as health educators. The major
in health science prepares students to serve as health educators in
community health settings that include, but are not limited to,
governmental health agencies, community health agencies, clinical
health settings, and in business and industries. In addition to the
course work required in this major, students must also complete a
semester-long internship.
The major in school health
education prepares students to serve as health educators in K-12
school settings. In addition to the course work required in the
major, students must also complete the professional education course
sequence and teacher education requirements, including a student
teaching experience.
The third bachelor degree
program prepares students for careers in respiratory therapy.
Respiratory therapists help diagnose, treat, rehabilitate, and
educate to prevent and manage cardiopulmonary diseases. They are
skilled in airway maintenance, procurement and analysis of arterial
blood gas samples, and in the performance of pulmonary function
tests. Students may enter the general studies portion of the program
upon admission to the university; however, admission to the program
is competitive, and admission to the university does not guarantee
acceptance to the professional studies/clinical phase of the
program. The professional studies courses are taught at Clarian
Health/Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. Students may apply for
admission to the professional studies/clinical portion of this
program when the following requirements are met: 28 hours of the
required courses are completed; 10 of these completed hours are in
the required math/science courses; C or better in required
math/science courses; 2.5 overall GPA; completion and documentation
of at least three hours of clinical observation. Interested students
should contact the Department of Physiology and Health Science to
obtain a copy of the desired admission and retention policy and plan
of study.
Standards for
acceptance to the internship program, enrollment in HSC 479,
Practical Experience and HSC 480, Professional Experience

480, health science majors must have taken a minimum of 25
credit hours in health science, and must earn a minimum
cumulative grade-point average of 2.5 in the following health
science courses: HSC 200, 300, 385, 387, 394, and 396; HSC 363
or 462 or 464.
-
Students earning minors in community
health education, environmental health, or public health must
have completed all minor requirements, with a cumulative
grade-point average of 2.5 in those requirements, in order to
enroll in HSC 479 or 480.
