The program in kinesiology is designed to prepare candidates for a variety of career options in the vast field of movement science. Career opportunities may include teaching physical education, coaching, analyzing and prescribing fitness programs, athletic training, or preparation for professional programs in allied health. Graduates of this program should be well prepared to enter graduate programs of study in such areas as pedagogy or adapted physical education, exercise physiology, biomechanics, athletic training, sport management, medical school, physical therapy school, and other allied health professional schools.
The candidate for the Bachelor of Science in Education degree with a major in kinesiology must select one of three concentrations:
- P-12 Teaching Physical Education/Wellness & Leisure
- Exercise Science – Pre-Professional Science
- Applied Exercise Science
All students must complete the state minimum core requirements as listed on the University Core. In addition, all students must take the required general studies for the kinesiology major and the kinesiology core requirements listed below. As part of the University Core requirements, specific math and science courses are required within the kinesiology major and concentrations. A student preparing to teach in the public schools must select the P-12 teaching concentration and must have a grade point average of 2.5 or greater to enter the senior block. Students interested in obtaining an endorsement in coaching should contact the Coordinator of Teacher Education. Students applying for other post-baccalaureate programs should inquire as to prerequisite requirements. Students majoring in kinesiology with a concentration in exercise science (concentrations II, III) must earn a grade of “C” or better in KINS 3153, KINS 3353, and KINS 3533, and meet the appropriate concentration requirements. A minimum of 124 semester hours is required for graduation in the major of kinesiology.
