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:

1. K-12 Teaching
2. Exercise Science- Exercise Physiology/Biomechanics
3. Exercise Science-Pre-Professional
4. Exercise Science - Fitness Specialist or
5. Exercise Science - Pre-Athletic Training.

All students must complete the University Core Requirements as listed on pg. 60 and the College of Education and Health Professions Requirements as listed on pg. 398. 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 and College of Education and Health Professions 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 K-12 teaching concentration, complete pre-M.A.T. requirements as listed on pg. 399, have a cumulative GPA of 2.70, and be admitted to Graduate School to be eligible to apply for initial teacher certification. Students planning on applying for other post-baccalaureate programs should inquire as to prerequisite requirements.
