as presented.
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM: 3 – F (1)
DATE: July 11, 2019

SUBJECT
Intent to Plan: BHSU BS in Physical Activity Leadership
CONTROLLING STATUTE, RULE, OR POLICY
BOR Policy 2:23 – Program and Curriculum Approval
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Black Hills State University (BHSU) requests permission to plan a Bachelor of Science
(BS) in Physical Activity Leadership. This program would provide preparation for careers
leading and instructing physical activity in non-formal settings. Graduates of the program
will have opportunities in lifespan physical activity and fitness related careers outside of
K-12 school districts or clinics. Examples of potential employment opportunities include
lifespan health-related activities differentiated for each client, including, but not limited to
senior centers, cruise ships, and prisons.
IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATION
The proposed program is within SDSMT’s mission as presented in BOR Policy 1:10:4 and
SDCL 13-59, including authorization for baccalaureate programs in liberal arts and
sciences and wellness. The program is intended to provide a major for students who start
in Professional Teacher Education, Outdoor Education, or Exercise Sciences programs, but
want to change majors. While other institutions within the SDBOR System have similar
programs such as Exercise Science, Kinesiology & Sport Management, and Physical
Education Certifications, the Physical Activity Leadership Program differs in that it
focuses on actual participatory leadership of lifespan activity in a variety of environments.
The program would also not require any additional resources.
Board office staff recommends approval of the intent to plan with the following conditions:
1. The university will research existing curricula, consult with experts concerning
the curriculum, and provide assurance in the proposal that the program is
consistent with current national standards and with the needs of employers.

2. The proposal will define the specific knowledge, skills, and competencies to be
acquired through the program, will outline how each will be obtained in the
curriculum and will identify the specific measures to be used to determine
whether individual students have attained the expected knowledge, skills, and
competencies.
3. The university will not request new state resources without Board permission,
and the program proposal will identify the sources and amounts of all funds
needed to operate the program and the impact of reallocations on existing
programs.
