Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology

This degree provides the opportunity to combine Kinesiology with other disciplines such as psychology, Christian studies, education, or other areas of studies with minors.  Kinesiology also provides a perfect foundation of the study of movement with other pre-requisite academic coursework for students wishing to pursue graduate studies in the areas of athletic training, physical therapy, occupational therapy, exercise physiology, biomechanics, and other related professional fields. Specifically, the Pre-Professional advising concentrations of Pre-Athletic Training, Pre-Occupational Training, and Pre-Physical Therapy allow students to complete prerequisites for applications to graduate programs while completing courses in Kinesiology.

A student majoring in Kinesiology may choose a minor or supporting fields in other disciplines, or one of the concentrations in Kinesiology in lieu of a minor. Concentrations are:

• Health (6-12) and Physical Education (P-12) Teacher Certification
• Physical Education (P-12) Teacher Certification
