Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology - Kinesiology Generalist (KGEN)

Kinesiology (formerly Exercise Science) has recently phased out 
tracks in Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) and Physical 
Education Non-Teaching (PYED). A track in Sports and Recreation Management 
has recently been added. KINE tracks are interdisciplinary by 
design with required courses, electives, and laboratory experiences to 
prepare the student for entry into commercial fitness, hospital-based 
fitness, wellness or cardiac rehabilitation, graduate programs in physical 
therapy, occupational therapy, exercise physiology, or wellness promotion. Kinesiology Generalist (KGEN) This degree track allows students the flexibility to obtain academic preparation inclusive of laboratory and practical experiences necessary to enter medical school or graduate programs in allied health, graduate exercise science, and associated fields. The natural flexibility furthermore serves to accommodate academic preparation for entrance into Occupational and Physical Therapy programs with the redundancy of degree offering being most vital for transfer students and students switching into KINE (or between KINE tracks) but with aspirations towards OT or PT rehabilitative work.
