Health disciplines have been identified as having a critical need for new professionals who have hands-on experiences/training/research. DSE makes it possible to provide students with these essentials. DSE helps meet the missions of departments, College, MTSU and needs for training undergraduates/post graduates as professionals in our state. CBHS serves 5000+ students in classroom education, training and research with an additional 5000+ university students taking Psychology courses and H&HP activity courses. We graduate about 1000 undergraduate per academic year and we further benefit the university with state funding by maintaining its Carnegie classification with 57 PhDs over the last 6 year (20 per year required to maintain the classification of doctoral/professional). There is a high multiplier for funding tied to the college’s large number of master’s students. Our request is tied to maintaining all aspects of education and includes: Adult/geriatric/Pediatric/OB training equipment (Nursing), psychological assessment testing kits, materials for the Applied Behavioral Analysis program (critical in training students to work with autistic children), EEG system/related equipment, specialized statistical software and software to maintain (and design) experiments for Psych 1410 (2000+ for Gen. Ed. course); equipment for training Crim. Justice students in crime scene photography, body composition x-ray (H&HP), and student oriented equipment for a growing HumSci program. Enrollment/usage per academic year: H&HP: undergraduate/graduate-250 per year, psych undergraduate 300+; graduate courses, graduate research, theses and dissertations (H&HP and Psych) 200+. CrimJust-250, Nursing, a signature program at MTSU, 256 students per year across adult/geriatric/Pediatrics/OB specializations.
