Students will be classified as “ESW_HPN_Undecided” majors prior to assessment for upper-level ESW courses.
At the completion of the sophomore year, students may seek assessment into the ESW upper-level courses upon email invitation from the Kinesiology Office to attend the ESW assessment seminar.
Program candidates are only assessed twice per year during the ESW assessment seminar. Failure to attend the seminar will delay registration into upper-level courses. All of the following criteria must be met:
- The candidate must have earned a minimum of 54 semester hours of college credit.
- The candidate must have earned an overall grade point average of 2.50 based upon a 4.00 scale to include all HPE courses and BY 263 with a “C” or better. After assessment to the ESW upper level courses (Human Performance concentration), the student is required to maintain a minimum 2.50 grade point average. In accordance with the Department of Kinesiology Grades Dismissal Policy, a student may repeat a professional course only once and may not accumulate more than three (3) grades of “D” or “F” in “professional studies” courses. In accordance with the Department of Kinesiology GPA Dismissal Policy, failure to maintain the appropriate GPA will result in dismissal from the ESW program. Reinstatement to the ESW program is at the discretion of the ESW committee.
- The candidate must submit one (1) written recommendation (personal, professional or academic).
- The candidate must confirm understanding of ESW curriculum requirements, along with personality, interests, and aptitudes consistent with a successful ESW career.
In addition to courses noted below, candidates for graduation must successfully complete all JSU Academic Regulations. More information about Jax MIX requirements and Alabama Transfers equivalents can be found in their respective section of the catalog.
