This 120-credit degree in kinesiology is a demanding science based program designed to prepare students for a career in clinical exercise, coaching, corporate fitness, exercise and sport psychology, medical and exercise equipment sales, mind-body studies, pharmaceutical sales, personal training, sport and exercise nutrition, sport science, or wellness/fitness management. The KNES program provides students with a strong science foundation for post-graduate specialized study in kinesiology or professional schools (e.g., chiropractic, medical, physical therapy). The KNES program has a comprehensive approach to the study of human movement. Three separate internship experiences totaling 700 hours provide KNES students with the opportunity to apply evidence-based knowledge and its practical application in general fitness, clinical and sports performance settings. The KNES degree is designed to assist students in their preparation for nationally recognized certifications, specifically those offered by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). Students are required to challenge either the ACSM-Certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist or the NSCA-Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist exam by the 7th week of the semester in which they are enrolled in KINE 490 - Kinesiology Internship III. All exam registration fees are the responsibility of the student. Students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 each semester and to receive a grade of C or better in all major coursework (BIOL 124, BIOL 125, STAT 250, as well as all Professional Sequence courses). Failure to do so will result in probation or termination from the KNES program. The Kinesiology Academic Advisor is available to assist KNES students with course registration and academic program design. It is expected that KNES students will meet with their Academic Advisor each semester that they are enrolled at George Mason University.
