Curricula in Kinesiology
The following curricula lead to a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology. There are several tracks designed to prepare students for a variety of careers in public school education and exercise science. The Division also provides training for students interested in health-related professional schools, e.g., physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician’s assistant or medicine. There are some common course requirements for all tracks. The additional hours for each track are specifically designed to prepare students for that field of study. The following are common core curriculum and foundation courses. The sequencing of these courses should be determined in consultation with an appropriate academic advisor. The International and Cultural Diversity requirement may be satisfied by careful selection of electives. Students should consult their advisor to ensure proper course selection.
