Chairperson: Charles J. Sommer; Professors: Mou-ta Chen, Joseph B. Harkin, John G. Michaels,Sanford S. Miller, Kazumi Nakano; Associate Professors: Norman J. Bloch, Richard T. Mahoney;Assistant Professors: Petros Hadjicostas, Dawn Jones. Lecturer: Cynthia Burke.An in-depth understanding of mathematics is of great importance to many careers in our tech-nologically complex society. Moreover, the study of mathematics promotes analytical and criticalthinking skills, and therefore is a valuable part of any program of study. The major and minorprograms in mathematics are designed to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to pur-sue graduate study or to support career goals in a range of professions. Recent graduates whohave majored in mathematics have found rewarding careers in business, teaching, computing,government, law, engineering, and medicine. A major or minor in mathematics is a naturaladjunct to the study of physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, business, economics, com-puter science, or the social sciences.

The department offers a major in mathematics, a minor in mathematics, and a minor inmathematics/statistics. In addition, it supports a double major in mathematics and computerscience and a five-year, two-degree mathematics/engineering program. To complete a majorin mathematics, students take nine required courses that provide a thorough foundation inseveral central areas of mathematics, a computer science course that emphasizes the design ofalgorithms, and a minimum of three advanced courses chosen to give special depth in at leastone area. The two minor programs require students to take six mathematics courses thatcoherently complement their particular major.Because of the sequential nature of the study of mathematics, students should meet with thedepartment’s advisement coordinator as soon as possible to declare a major or minor, be assigneda departmental advisor, and plan an academic program.

PhilosophyThe curriculum of the Department of Nursing is derived from the program’s mission, pur-pose, objectives and organizing framework. The philosophy describes the faculty’s beliefs con-cerning the purpose of nursing, the focus of baccalaureate and graduate nursing education,and the expectations for program graduates.

The philosophy of the Department of Nursing states that:The faculty of the Department of Nursing at the State University of New York College atBrockport believes that education is a lifelong process which fosters the cultural, psychoso-cial, and intellectual development of the individual. The faculty fully supports the mission ofthe College, recognizing that students bring to the educational setting a diversity of abilities,motivations, experiences, and cultures. Accordingly, opportunities are provided at both theundergraduate and graduate level, which allow each individual to build on past knowledgeand experience and to develop within the educational philosophy of the State University ofNew York.The faculty believes that nursing is a profession, science, and art with the primary purpose ofassisting clients—individuals, families and communities—to retain, attain, and maintain anoptimal level of wellness through purposeful interventions. The faculty believes that clientsare a composite of physiological, psychological, developmental, sociocultural, and spiritualdimensions. Professional nurses utilize the nursing process to manage care of clients throughout the life cycle. Nurses work independently and in collaboration with other healthprofessionals.Nursing education utilizes knowledge drawn from nursing, the liberal arts, sciences, and hu-manities. Nursing curricula emphasize the development of concepts and skills which are essentialto nursing practice, leadership and research, and fosters the development of critical thinking.Students are active, responsible participants in the learning process.

The faculty believes that baccalaureate education serves as the foundation for graduate studyand continuing professional and personal growth. The master’s program prepares specialistswho will assume a leadership role in the delivery of healthcare to individuals across life’scontinuum.

Baccalaureate Nursing ProgramNursing is one of the most rewarding and challenging health care professions. The baccalau-reate nursing program at SUNY Brockport prepares a generalist professional practitioner toutilize the nursing process and interpersonal skills in providing health care to clients, familiesand groups of all ages in any setting.

The College is a member of the American Association of Collegesof Nursing. The program is designed to help students become scientifically and humanisticallypre pared professional nurses, and to provide a foundation for graduate study in nursing.Beginning practitioners are most frequently employed in either hospital or community set-tings. Hospitals offer challenging opportunities for the baccalaureate graduate as do long-termhealth care facilities. In the community, nurses are employed by public health departments,health maintenance organizations, out-patient clinics, voluntary health organizations, and

The armed services also offer excellent career opportu-nities for graduates.The nursing curriculum involves classroom, field and clinical experience in nursing theoryand practice. The curriculum uses a variety of teaching modalities. Students are expected toassume an active role in the learning process and are responsible for achieving learning out-comes.

Programs in Physical Education and SportThe major in physical education and sport provides opportunities for the study of physicalactivity including sport, exercise, play, and other physical activities. The academic major cur-riculum provides students with an opportunity to know how and why a physical activity-enriched lifestyle contributes to the good life. The curriculum provides numerous opportunitiesfor students to participate and reflect upon their personal experiences in physical activity. Theaim of the physical education major curriculum is to graduate students who are “physicallyeducated.” As such, the core of the major is focused on the study of motor skill and physicalfitness. Students learn the principles of acquiring skill and fitness, seek to improve their ownlevels of skill and fitness, and learn to appreciate the contributions of skill and fitness to hu-man development. Students complete the academic major by selecting courses which coverdisciplinary content most relevant to their professional (or non-professional) interests.The department prepares its graduates for careers as physical education teachers, adaptedphysical education teachers, coaches, athletic trainers, fitness consultants, exercise specialists,and administrators of sport-related programs and businesses. In addition to the 33-credit aca-demic major, therefore, the department offers professional concentrations in: (1) teacher cer-tification; (2) teacher certification and adapted physical education; (3) athletic training; (4)sports management; and (5) exercise physiology. Teacher certification programs are offeredonly in conjunction with the major in physical education. The concentrations in athletic train-ing, sport management, and exercise physiology are available to both physical education majorsand non-majors. (Additional prerequisites may be required for students lacking a strong back-ground in physical education.) The department also offers a minor in coaching. Since indi-viduals who complete the teacher certification program in physical education are also certifiedto coach upon completion of their program, the minor in coaching is directed to non-certification students (and is also open to non-majors). Of course, teacher certification stu-dents may select coaching courses as part of their program of study. Specific requirements forthe major and for each special program are described below.Performance is a critical area of study within the department. Skill courses in a range of sportsand exercise areas are available for majors and non-majors alike who want to develop skills fora lifetime of recreational enjoyment and personal health. A full schedule of activities—fromtennis, golf and racquetball to jogging, aerobics and weight training—is offered each semes-ter. Physical education majors can utilize these courses to gain beginning, intermediate andadvanced skills to strengthen their sport and exercise backgrounds.
