Program.
The four-year B.S. degree program in Environmental
and Public Health is accredited by the National Environmental Health
Science and Protection Accreditation Council. A person who holds a
baccalaureate degree and who has completed one year of acceptable
employment as a specialist in environmental sanitation may become
registered upon successful completion of an examination administered by
the State Division of Health. This registration (Wisc. Statutes, Sec.
140-45) certifies a person’s professional competency. The degree also
allows the recipient to take the National Environmental Health Association
exam for the Registered Environmental Health Specialist/Registered
Sanitarian credential.
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Policy.
The only credits that may be earned under the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory
option are for Independent Study. S/U credits may not total more than
three.
Other Graduation Requirements.
Students in the program must meet all University graduation requirements,
including those for English competency, Wellness, total credits, GPAs,
Cultural Diversity, Foreign Language/Foreign Culture, and University
residency. University portfolios are supported through orientation in
First Year Experiences courses and through portfolios used within specific
courses.
Internship.
Between the junior and senior year, each student will be required to
enroll in the summer practicum (Enph 435) and pay fees to the University.
The ten-week off-campus practicum will be a full-time work experience with
a health-related agency or industry. Students will be assigned to an
internship site by the Allied Health Professions faculty. Placements will
be made by March 15; therefore, students anticipating enrollment in the
practicum should notify the Allied Health Professions faculty no later
than February 1.

Bachelor
of Science in Health Care Administration
Today is a time of change and
challenge in health care. New leaders are needed to guide development of
new ways to provide high quality health care at costs to individuals and
society that are affordable. The Health Care Administration program at
UW-Eau Claire offers bright and committed students the opportunity to work
with faculty who are dedicated to preparing leaders in a wide variety of
health care organizations and to the individual development of each
student. Our goal is to prepare our students to make a positive difference
in the lives of others by joining efficient management practices with
dedication to service.
Health care administrators practice
in a variety of settings including hospitals, clinics, health care
systems, assisted living facilities, home health care, skilled nursing
facilities, government agencies, managed care organizations, insurance
companies, and other health related industries.
The 12 month Health Care
Administration practicum, served at one of the many affiliated health care
facilities in Wisconsin and Minnesota, provides students the opportunity
to practice their skills and classroom knowledge as part of a leadership
team. Graduates are thereby ready upon graduation to begin performing as
leaders and managers in health care.

Entrance Requirements.
Students wishing to major in Music Therapy must pass
a music placement audition administered by the Department of Music and
Theatre Arts.
Program.
The Music Therapy Program is accredited by the American Music Therapy
Association (AMTA) and by the National Association of Schools of Music.
The student studies four academic years on campus. Each of the final three
semesters on campus includes coursework that involves a weekly part-time
clinical practicum in which the student is assigned to provide supervised
music therapy treatment for an individual client or group at a community
facility or in our on-campus music therapy clinic. While completing the
curriculum, each student must accrue 1200 clinical hours of music therapy
experience. A minimum of 120 of these hours must be completed through
courses taken prior to completion of on-campus coursework. Following
completion of all on-campus requirements for graduation, a minimum of 900
hours of off-campus clinical internship must be completed prior to
receiving the degree. All clinical coursework must meet requirements for
AMTA program accreditation. Upon graduation, the student is eligible to
take the national board examination administered by the Certification
Board for Music Therapists in order to become a Music Therapist-Board
Certified.
Scholastic Requirements.
All courses with the Mutx prefix and Idis 103 that
are listed in the core must be completed with a grade of C- or above prior
to internship placement.
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Policy.
No degree credit in any course required
for this program may be earned under the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory
option.
General Education.
Courses required in the program satisfy University General Education
requirements in the following categories. Four credits of Category II are
satisfied in Biology, and six credits of Category III are satisfied by Soc
101 and Psyc 100. Additional Idis, Mutx, and Musi courses apply in the
Fine Arts and Interdisciplinary Studies Subcategories in Category IV. See
a member of the music therapy faculty for assistance in determining
applicability of credits to General Education.
Other Graduation Requirements.
Each student must meet all University
graduation requirements, including those in English composition, Wellness,
total credits, GPAs, Cultural Diversity, General Education, and residency
as specified in this Catalogue. University portfolios are supported
through orientation in First Year Experiences courses and through
portfolios used within specific courses.
All music therapy majors are
required to attend and/or participate in performance class and to attend
ten approved concerts and recitals for each of seven separate semesters. A
guitar proficiency examination and the piano proficiency examination must
be passed prior to registration for any course for which either is a
prerequisite.
Internship.
Not more than one year prior to the student’s anticipated date of
completion of all on-campus requirements, the student may make application
for internship placement. The specific clinical sites to which
applications are sent are selected by each student using information that
is collected and regularly updated by the music therapy faculty and staff.
All AMTA restrictions and guidelines for the application process must be
strictly adhered to by each student.
Equivalency in Music Therapy.
Students entering the program having previously completed a four-year
degree in another major at an accredited institution may enroll to qualify
for music therapy certification without earning a second degree. Specific
requirements for each student will be determined by the student’s adviser
and must be approved by the program director.
