PROGRAM SNAPSHOT FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCES Program Description: The family and consumer sciences graduate-level certification program will provide opportunities for licensed teachers to add a new license in the area of family and consumer sciences. In addition, people who hold a bachelor’s degrees can gain coursework for FCS teacher licensure, in a condensed format. The program will provide the opportunity for: • Teachers already licensed in a discipline other than family and consumer sciences to gain certification in FCS education. • Licensed teachers to move forward in their PDP while attaining an additional certification. • Participants to dovetail required credits with our existing master’s programs in Community and Organizational Leadership and Education. • Individuals who hold a non-teaching bachelor’s degree to gain coursework for FCS teacher licensure, in a condensed format, while completing additional requirements for an initial teaching license. Highlights: The FCS teacher certification saw a 133% increase in enrollment from the previous fiscal year. This growth can be attributed to high-touch student experience during the recruitment process as well as our ability to recruit out-of-state students under the Service Based Pricing Model. Students who have completed the program often recommend it to other teachers based on their experience.
PROGRAM SNAPSHOT HEALTH AND WELLNESS COACHING Program Description: As a health and wellness coach, you will guide individuals during their transformative journey of achieving lasting changes and enhanced well-being by helping them overcome hurdles, surpass limitations and tap into their own unrealized personal and professional potential. The UWSP - NWI Health and Wellness Coaching Certificate Program is dedicated to preparing students to become professional Health and Wellness Coaches, including preparing students for eligibility to become a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBCHWC). Our focus is to ensure the highest level of student training, engagement and satisfaction while also meeting and exceeding credentialing requirements set by the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaches (NBHWC). The NBHWC has collaborated with the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) since 2016 to provide a robust board certification examination which has led to more than 3,000 National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coaches that hold the NBC-HWC credential. The esteemed NBC-HWC credential represents training, education, and assessment standards, allowing for the profession to advance in all aspects of healthcare and wellness. Highlights: The Health and Wellness Coaching Certificate is designed as a collaborative initiative between the School of Health Promotion and Human Development (now the School of Health Sciences and Wellness), and UWSP Continuing Education. The program launched its inaugural year with 28 students admitted, 23 students enrolled, and 20 students successfully completing. The success of our program is critically dependent on the quality of our partnerships and collaborations Most notable of these is the National Wellness Institute (NWI), with whom we are co-branded. The NWI is instrumental in broadening awareness of our program in the wellness and public market. They are also a NBHWC approved continuing education provider. This creates a key strategic alliance in building student/ graduate continued professional development and community. Other collaborations with external stakeholders include Ascension Health, Arizona State University, Point Loma San Diego University and West Virginia University.
