HPE Core Revision, Effective for New Students in 2004-2005.
As part of a comprehensive review and revision of its curriculum, all students who entered B-W in 2004-2005 will initiate a new HPE Core requirement, one that incorporates a computer course focusing on personal wellness as well as many activity and classroom options that will encourage current students and graduates to become healthy, active citizens. HPE activity and classroom courses designated in the schedule with a "W" (Wellness) are applicable toward the 2-credit requirement. Courses will be offered throughout the day and selected activity and other wellness-related courses will also be offered in the evenings and on Saturday mornings.
Athletic Training Education Program Update
We are pleased to announce that B-W’s Athletic Training Education Program has been awarded Continuing Accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). After a comprehensive evaluation and site visit, our program was found to be in substantial compliance with the nationally recognized Standards for Entry-Level Athletic Training Education. Any students that desire to become BOC Certified Athletic Trainers must graduate from a CAATE accredited program in order to be eligible to sit for the national certification exam.
