Kinesiology Major

Description

The kinesiology major is an undergraduate option that permits the student to individualize a course of study from several academic offerings in the Department of Kinesiology, Sport Studies, and Physical Education. The kinesiology major is intended for the student who desires greater flexibility in choosing courses related to the study of human movement and physical activity, but is not interested in a specific professional orientation. The program of study chosen can prepare the student for graduate work in a specific discipline or degree program in human movement science (e.g., sport philosophy, history of sport, biomechanics, sport psychology, motor behavior, or other related areas).

Admission to the Program

Any undergraduate student can declare the major in kinesiology.

Program Requirements

Students in the kinesiology major pursue a Bachelor of Science degree and must complete its requirements.

The major consists of a 22-credit academic core and an elective pool from which 12 credits are selected in consultation with the major advisor.

  • PES 430 Foundations of Sport and Exercise Psychology

Elective Courses (12 credits required)

I assume the Advanced Performance options are too numerous to list? Are these PEP courses, not PES?

A maximum of one additional Advanced Performance course may count toward the required elective credits.
