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 five concentrations:
All students must complete the University Core requirements and the College of Education and Health Professions requirements . In addition, all students must take the required general studies for the kinesiology major and the kinesiology core requirements listed below.
