Department of Human Services and Social Work
Case Management Minor
A minor in Case Management is offered to students who desire a basic understanding of the process and foundational skill sets necessary to provide case management services in a variety of settings.
Human Services Major
The purpose of the human services major is twofold: (1) to prepare the graduate for entry level positions in a myriad of human services delivery systems where specialized training is not required, and (2) to prepare students for graduate education. The curriculum is designed to provide the student with an understanding of human behavior within the context of the social environment, an understanding of social and human service delivery systems, and basic skills in effective communication with client systems and basic skills in the development of intervention strategies to resolve interpersonal and social problems. A three-credit, 120-clock-hour field practicum is required.
Human Services Minor
A minor in human services is offered to students who desire basic understanding of the human services delivery system.
Social Work Major
The social work program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Accreditation and program graduates are eligible to sit for social work licensure examination. Social work licensure is required in the state of Alabama for those in the practice of social work. The principle educational objective of the social work program is the preparation of graduates for beginning level generalist social work practice. The curriculum is designed to provide the beginning-level practitioner an ability to apply an eclectic knowledge base guided by professional values; to use a wide range of intervention skills to target any-sized client system (micro to macro levels) while employing a planned change process directed toward client empowerment; to work effectively, under supervision, within social service delivery organizational structures while employing a wide range professional roles. A 12- credit-hour field practicum is required (minimum of 400 clock hours).
Department of Kinesiology and Health Promotion
One of the oldest departments on campus, Kinesiology and Health Promotion consists of four undergraduate degree options and boasts more than 500 majors in the department. These degree options include Athletic Training, Exercise Science, Health Education, & Physical Education.
Exercise Science
If a career in physical therapy, occupational therapy, clinical exercise testing and prescription, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, health-fitness/wellness, strength and conditioning or nutrition is in your future, a Bachelor of Science in exercise science is a perfect fit. This competitive program includes concentrations in pre-health professions, health and wellness, or nutrition, and incorporates coursework from five academic departments spread across two colleges.
With an emphasis on preparation for entry into graduate health profession schools in the fields of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and physician assistant, you will be prepared to successfully enter into graduate health profession schools nationwide. Upon completion of the program, you will also be prepared to sit for certification examinations offered through the American College of Sports Medicine, National Strength and Conditioning Association, and other organizations in the related fields of health and fitness, clinical exercise testing, and strength and conditioning.
Health Education
The Bachelor of Science degree in health education (Teaching Certification) prepares teachers to impact 6th – 12th grade students through concepts of nutrition, exercise, rest, disease prevention, and safety. Prospective health teachers will learn innovative classroom teaching strategies using the latest technology for instructional delivery. Through this preparation the health education graduate will be highly prepared to meet the challenges of growing health concerns across our nation by educating our youth.
Physical Education
If you are passionate about teaching others the skills necessary to participate in health enhancing sport and physical activity for life, the Bachelor of Science in physical education (Teaching Certification) at Troy is for you. This program prepares preschool – 12th grade teachers to impact students in team, individual, and lifetime sport skills in order to enhance their quality of life beyond their school years. At Troy University our physical education program is based on three beliefs, 1. Teach students the proper skills necessary to participate in a variety of sport, individual, and lifetime activities, 2. Provide opportunities for the student to learn and participate in a wide variety of physical activities, 3. By doing so the student will find something they enjoy and are successful at and will continue to
Many of our graduates in health and physical education choose to double major. This is highly recommended by our department to provide more opportunities for our graduates. It is for this reason our department has such a high job placement rate. Troy University has set itself apart from many other programs (at other Universities throughout the state and southeast) by offering both majors and the option to double major. A mere 18 hours extra (one more semester) can provide the graduate with two degrees and prepare them for dual certification in physical education and health education making them more marketable than a graduate with only one of the aforementioned degrees.
School of Nursing
The School of Nursing programs are designed to develop expertise necessary for the practice of nursing in a complex, changing health care system. Faculty are well qualified, and the ASN, BSN, MSN and DNP programs are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) (3343 Peachtree Rd. NE, Suite 850, Atlanta, Ga., 30326, 404-975- 5000) and approved by the Alabama Board of Nursing. Degree programs are offered at the associate (ASN), baccalaureate (BSN), master’s (MSN) and doctoral (DNP) levels. Mobility options are available for registered nurses seeking to earn a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree in nursing. For more information, visit the School of Nursing.
Students are accepted for admission to the ASN (Montgomery Campus) and BSN (Troy and Dothan Campus) programs in the spring and fall semesters. The ASN degree may be completed in five semesters. The BSN degree may be completed in nine semesters. Registered nurses may receive advanced placement in the online RN Mobility track of the BSN Program. For information related to progression from RN Mobility track to the Family Nurse Practitioner or Healthcare Informatics and Nursing Leadership tracks in the MSN Program or the DNP program, consult the Graduate Catalog. Admission to the School of Nursing is selective, based on established criteria for each program.
All students must maintain current CPR certification, annual proof of TB testing, and proof of annual physical examination when enrolled in clinical nursing courses. Students are responsible for their own medical care if needed in the clinical setting and must have health insurance. Students must abide by Centers for Disease Control, HIPAA, and OSHA guidelines. Students must present titer reports for Hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella zoster. Drug screening and criminal background information are required before students may attend clinical course practicums. Students may have additional requirements based on specific facility policies. Standardized achievement tests are required at various points in the undergraduate programs of learning.
Students in the School of Nursing must comply with legal, moral and legislative standards in accordance with the Alabama Board of Nursing Administrative Code. A student may be denied permission to write the licensing examination to become a registered nurse (RN) if he/she has been convicted of a felony.
Challenge examinations are available for various courses for students who meet the eligibility criteria. No nursing course may be audited before it is taken for credit.
Many nursing courses have additional laboratory fees. These fees are printed in the schedule of classes.
Admission is competitive. All students who meet minimum requirements may not be admitted.

Admission
Students are admitted into the ASN Program in the spring and fall terms. The Admissions Committee reviews all records of qualified applicants. Applicants receive a ranking based on measurable criteria (i.e., test scores, GPA, etc.). Deadline for filing application and all required admission documentation is May 30 for fall admission and Oct. 1 for spring admission.
For admission to the ASN program, the student must:
- submit application for admission to undergraduate studies with $30 application fee;
- submit Official high school transcript or the equivalent (GED). A high school transcript or GED is not required for students transferring in a minimum 24 semester hours of college credit;
- Submit Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended;
- The test must have been taken within the 2 years prior to the date of application for admission.
- If the student submits TEAS scores (from exams taken twice during the 2 year period), the highest score will be considered. If more than 2 attempts are submitted, only the first two taken during the two year period would be considered.
- submit Official admission test scores. The ASN program accepts a “Proficient Score” on the TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills)
- meet all unconditional admission requirements for freshman students as listed in the Troy University undergraduate catalog and ; have a minimum grade point average GPA of at least 2.0/4.0 scale on all college work attempted at the undergraduate level and a minimum grade point average of at least 2.5/4.0 scale on all college work attempted at Troy University at the undergraduate level. If less than 24 HR of college work has been attempted, you must have a minimum 2.5/4.0 High School GPA or a GED with a score of 500; and
- meet core performance standards required for duties of the nursing profession (copy of standards available upon request).
NOTE: If a student is attempting to transfer credit for nursing courses from another accredited school of nursing, a letter from the dean/director of that school must be submitted stating that the student was eligible for continuation in the nursing program. If the student was not eligible for continuation in the program, the student must take all required Troy University ASN nursing courses (i.e., no nursing courses will be transferred).

- Student must earn a grade of C (74%) or better in each required course.
- A student will be able to repeat a nursing course only one time to achieve a grade of C or better .
- A student may repeat only one ASN Program nursing course (with the exception of NSG 2204 or NSG 2213); therefore, a second D or F in any ASN nursing course (with the exception of NSG 2204, or NSG 2213) will result in automatic dismissal from the Program.
- Student must make 90% or higher on a dosage and solutions calculation examination in NSG 1151 to progress in the program.
- Student must satisfactorily complete an NCLEX predictor exam in NSG 2280.
- Student must complete the program within four years from the date of initial enrollment in the first clinical nursing course (NSG 1131 and/or NSG 1135) to remain in the program. Whether a student drops, fails or withdraws from NSG 1131 or NSG 1135 the student can only re-enroll once more. If a student drops, fails, or withdraws a second time, the student will be dismissed from the ASN program.
Degree
Upon satisfactory completion of the program, the student is awarded the Associate of Science in Nursing degree and may then apply to the Board of Nursing to write the licensing examination to become a registered nurse (RN).
Location
The ASN program is located at 340 Montgomery Street, Montgomery, AL, 36104. The clinical facilities used for student learning experiences are located within an approximate 50-mile radius of Montgomery. Students are responsible for their transportation.

Specialized General Studies Requirements
Students will complete the general studies requirements as outlined in the general studies section of this catalog with the following exception. In AREA II take COM 2241 and any 1000- 2000 level Literature Series (6 hours); and, in Area IV take a History Series (6 hours). The following general studies courses are required for social work majors: ANT 2200, ECO 2251, POL 2241, PSY 2200, SOC 2275, and PSY 3304. Courses will similar course content in General Studies may be considered for substitution by the department chair.
Admission to the professional social work curriculum
Students must be admitted to the professional social work curriculum in order to enroll in advanced social work courses, beginning with SWK 3390. Students are encouraged to declare social work as a major during the freshman or sophomore year in order to ensure that they will meet the requirements for admission in a timely manner. Otherwise, the student may be out of sequence in meeting program requirements. Admission to the professional social work curriculum is usually accomplished during the first semester of the junior year concurrent with enrollment in SWK 2250, which precedes enrollment in SWK 3390 the following semester. To be eligible to apply for admission, each social work major must (1) have a minimum GPA of 2.5 (on a 4 point scale) in all college courses attempted and have completed a minimum of 30 semester hours, and (2) have completed ENG 1101 and 1102 or ENG 1103 and 1104; COM 2241 or 2243; HS 2240, 3310 and 3370; and SWK 2250 and 2280 (or be currently enrolled) with a grade of C or better. Procedures for applying for admission to the professional social work curriculum may be obtained from the Department of Social Work. Students completing all but 3-6 hours of general studies courses will have the best opportunity of being unconditionally accepted into the program. Students with more than 6 hours may have a delayed acceptance or conditional admission.
Progression in Social Work
- Students are required to make a grade of C or better in each of the required departmental core and professional curriculum courses (all HS, RHB, and SWK prefixed courses.)
- Students may repeat only one 3000-4000 level departmental course; thereafter, a D or F in any 3000-4000 level departmental required course will result in automatic dismissal from the social work program.
- A student remains in good standing by maintaining, at a minimum, a 2.5 GPA in all course work taken and a 2.5 GPA in all required departmental and professional courses.
