As part of the University Core requirements and College of Education and Health Profession requirements specific social sciences and science courses are required within the recreation major and concentration requirements. Recreation majors must obtain a "C" grade or better in all courses beginning with the alpha code RECR. To enroll in RECR 440V, students must have a 2.50 GPA or better in RECR core and concentration courses. Many courses in the recreation curriculum are taught in sequential order. Please check catalog course descriptions for prerequisites. There are several experiential requirements within the recreation core. Students are required to do three practicum experiences (RECR 201V) in three different agencies. Each experience totals 45 hours. A more intense experience of an internship (RECR 440V) requires a minimum of 400 hours or work full time for 12-15 weeks in an agency with a qualified park and recreation professional. Students in the recreation program must get certification at the instructor-level or higher in at least two areas of expertise. Certifications must be valid at the time of graduation and be completed before a grade will be assigned in RECR 4013, Contemporary Issues in Leisure. Examples of these certifications include, but are not limited to, water safety instructor, aerobics instructor, American Red Cross canoeing instructor, first-aid instructor, and hunter safety instructor. A minimum of 124 hours are required for graduation in the major of recreation. The total hours may vary slightly depending on the study concentration. An undergraduate minor in recreation is also available to students enrolled in other colleges. Students with interests related to the recreation profession such as business, biology, human environmental science or horticulture may elect the 15 hour minor found on page 169. This minor could enhance future career opportunities.

SEE PAGE 335 FOR RECREATION (RECR) COURSES ELEANOR MANN SCHOOL OF NURSING (NURS) Barbara Conrad
The mission of the Eleanor Mann School of Nursing is to promote the health of society through education of professional nurses, research and service. The School, as an established entity within the College of Education and Health Professions and the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, subscribes to the philosophy and stated mission of the University of Arkansas on teaching, research, and service. The School of Nursing provides nursing education to meet expanding health care needs. In recognition of the interrelationship between teaching, research, service, and the practice of nursing, in the changing health care needs of society, the faculty aspires toward excellence in teaching, contributes to research in nursing, and promotes improved health care. The philosophy and purposes of the education are a synthesis of the personal beliefs of the faculty in relation to the person, society, environment, health, nursing, education, the learning process, and the role of the graduates of the program. The person is a unique five dimensional being of interrelated and inseparable systems (biological, intellectual, psychological, social and spiritual) from which needs arise as the person develops throughout the life span. Each person is a member of a larger cultural, racial, and/or ethnic group and is unique in the way in which the dimensions are developed, intersected and expressed. Environment influences the person's health within each of these dimensions. The person is influenced by and interacts as a whole with the internal and external environment to preserve vital functions, dignity and a meaningful existence. Society is a dynamic and multicultural phenomenon functioning within the ever-changing environment. The basic unit in society is the family. It functions to socialize its members to cultural values and norms and is highly influential in shaping the health behaviors of its members. Individual persons and family groups combine and intersect to form and function as larger distinct and indistinct community units. These units also have needs which arise from biological, intellectual, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions. The health of the person, family or community impinges on and affects the health of the others. Society has given nursing and other health care professionals the latitude and responsibility to assist clients (individuals, families, and communities) in meeting health care needs. The environment, internal and external, consists of those forces which influence the dimensions of the client. These complex factors act upon the client and ultimately determine its form, survival and evolution. When the forces affect health, nursing becomes an integral part of the environment to assist the client in maximizing health. Health is a general condition involving the total client within the environment. Health is dynamic and relative, wherein the person exists at varying points along the wellnessillness continum. Wellness and illness are relative states of health and may be a matter of one's perception. Nursing is a helping relationship that assists the client in achieving wellness. It is both an art and a science. Professional nursing is derived from a specialized body of knowledge. The professional nurse draws from various academic disciplines to diagnose and make treatment decisions. Critical thinking is essential to the diagnoses and treatment decisions in nursing. The professional nurse practices in a variety of settings and collaborates with other health care professionals to assist the client in promoting health, preventing illness, maintaining or restoring wellness, or to cope with death. The therapeutic and significant contribution of nursing is through performance in the roles of caregiver, manager and teacher using research-based practice in health care. A critical thinking approach known as the nursing process is used to meet health care needs. Professional nursing begins with a Bachelor of Science degree. Nursing education offers a research base for nursing practice that promotes the ability of the nurse to effect change needed to improve health. It is a process by which knowledge is continually synthesized and directed toward meeting the health care needs of clients. The learner develops and applies intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor skills in assisting clients in a variety of settings. Professional nursing education develops critical thinking, and acceptance of responsibility for nursing interventions and accountability for outcomes. In the study of professional nursing the student builds on a planned general education from the academic disciplines and acquires theoretical and specific knowledge to meet health care needs. In addition the curriculum provides opportunity for students with technical nursing education to expand their knowledge and scope of practice. The baccalaureate program establishes a foundation for graduate education in nursing and for continued personal and professional development. Learning takes place within the student and is ultimately the responsibility of the student. Knowledge and skills are enhanced when the student derives satisfaction from the learning environment and has the opportunity to explore and express thoughts and feelings. Acquisition of knowledge and skills promotes development of the student and is manifested by a change in behavior. Faculty have the responsibility to ensure the quality of the nursing program. They de-fine levels of expectations for students and maintain standards of nursing practice. They focus on students' learning needs when they select or manipulate the environment to enhance experiential learning. Faculty guide and direct learning through the development and implementation of the curriculum and through planned periodic evaluations based on program criteria. In clinical agencies, faculty and practicing nurses are role models for students. Within a climate of mutual respect, students and faculty share in an interdependent enterprise of learning, inquiry and teaching. With guidance, students develop the ability to use critical thinking to integrate eclectic knowledge with current nursing theory and research-based practice. They learn personal and professional responsibility and accountability. Progress, or lack of, in meeting performance expectations and improvements necessary for success is identified by teacher evaluation and student self-evaluation. The baccalaureate graduate, as a member of the discipline, uses knowledge from a research base to fulfill the roles of the nurse in contemporary society as a caregiver, manager, and teacher. On entry into practice the graduate performs the following: 1. Uses critical thinking in making clinical judgments to deliver holistic nursing care, 2. Uses theory and research-based know-ledge to improve delivery of nursing care to meet health care needs of individuals, families, and communities, 3. Develops, implements, and evaluates health-related education based on assessed needs, 4. Applies information and health care technologies to assess, monitor, and support clients, families, and communities, 5. Designs, manages and coordinates health care for individuals, families and communities, 6. Uses ethical principles in nursing practice, conduct, and relationships with clients, and 7. Identifies with the values of the profession and incorporates them into practice. The baccalaureate nurse works singularly or in collaboration with other health care professionals in coordinating and promoting culturally sensitive health care. The Eleanor Mann School of Nursing at the University of Arkansas prepares students to enter the professional practice of nursing and/or pursue graduate-level nursing education. The curriculum provides the student with a theoretical base to practice professional nursing with diverse clients in various settings through the roles of caregiver, manager and teacher. The program of study has been designed to emphasize one or more of these roles in each nursing course. Graduates of the program are eligible to apply to take the NCLEX examination for licensure as a registered nurse (R.N.). Persons convicted of a crime may not be eligible to take the NCLEX examination. A criminal background check is required before graduation and reported to the Arkansas State Board of Nursing as part of the procedures for application for licensure. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (B.S.N.) is awarded after successful completion of the nursing curriculum. The Eleanor Mann School of Nursing offers a limited number of scholarships specifically for nursing students admitted to the School. These scholarships are awarded by the scholarship committee of the School of Nursing and include the Beverly, Jerry Wade Davis Jr., the Mervin Harold Davis Jr., Mina Marshall, Richter, and Stars for Nursing Scholarships. Contact the Eleanor Mann School of Nursing about the guidelines and application deadlines. ADMISSION TO THE B.S.N. PROGRAM Admission Policies Admission to the B.S.N. program is limited.

COLLEGE OF EDUCATION AND HEALTH PROFESSIONS HONORS PROGRAM (HNED) Joyce C. Graening
The College of Education and Health Professions honors program is designed to enable undergraduate students in the College who have demonstrated potential for outstanding scholastic achievement an opportunity to broaden and deepen their liberal and professional education. Honors Program students are also eligible to take honors courses in other colleges. The experience in the honors program includes, but is not limited to, enrollment in honors courses, an honors seminar, and a required undergraduate thesis/project. Incoming freshmen who meet one of the following three requirements will be invited to participate in the honors program; however, each student must file a formal application to be enrolled. 1. An ACT composite score of 27 or better 2. An SAT score of 1150 3. Rank in the top 5% of their high school graduating class.
Eligibility for continued enrollment in the honors program will be based on the following cumulative minimum grade-point averages. 1. At the end of freshman year (30 hours) - 3.25 GPA 2. At the end of sophomore year (59 hours) - 3.37 GPA 3. At the end of the junior year (93 hours) - 3.50 GPA
It is desirable and strongly advised that students enter the honors program as freshmen. However, other students may make application to participate if they meet requirements for admission and for continued enrollment eligibility. They must still meet all program requirements before graduation. Transfer students may enter the honors program based on the admission and eligibility requirements above and their cumulative grade-point average from the previous college. At the end of each semester, the director of the College of Education and Health Professions honors program will review the academic records of all enrolled honors students to determine whether each one has the cumulative grade-point average to continue in the program. If a student has become ineligible, he or she will be sent a letter regarding status and requiring the student to drop all honors courses for which he or she is registered the following semester. The ineligible student's file will be flagged "probationary status." An honors student may stay on probationary status for only one semester without being dropped from the honors program. At the end of the probationary semester, the student's cumulative grade-point average will be reviewed. The student will be re-instated to good standing in the honors program or dropped permanently from the program. The course and grade requirements for completion of the College of Education and Health Professions honors program are as follows: 1. Completion of 18 hours of honors credit. Only six of which may be
taken outside the College of Education and Health Professions. HNED 1001H, Honors Leadership Skills HNED 3923H, Honors Education Seminar (6 hrs of seminar required.) HNED 3001H, Honors Education Thesis Tutorial HNED 4003H, Honors Education Thesis/Project 2. Graduation with a minimum GPA of 3.50.
