Technical Standards. Technical standards define the
attributes that are considered necessary for nursing and
students enrolled in the BS degree program in Athletic
Training to possess in order to complete their education and
training, and subsequently enter clinical practice. These
technical standards are prerequisites for entrance to,
continuation in, and graduation from a student's chosen
program in the College of Health and Human Services at the
University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Students must possess aptitude, ability, and skills in four
areas: Psychomotor (coordination/mobility); Senses (visual,
auditory, tactile, olfactory); Communication (verbal,
nonverbal, written); and Behavioral/Social Attributes.
The technical standards described by the student's chosen
program are critically important to the student and must be
performed by the student. Contact specific programs for
detailed technical standards. Documentation of any
disability is accomplished through the University Office of
Disability Services.
Foreign Language Requirement. Nursing and social work
students seeking either a BSN or BSW degree are required to
demonstrate proficiency in the language of their choice.
Nursing students enrolled in the BSN or RN-BSN program must
demonstrate foreign language proficiency through the 1202
level. Students enrolled in the BSW program must demonstrate
proficiency in the language of their choice through the
intermediate 2000 level. There is no foreign language
requirement for students enrolled as Exercise Science and
Athletic Training majors, although it is highly recommended
for students to become proficient in a second language.
