Two kinesiology majors lead to the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (Sport Science, and Health and Fitness Education) and share kinesiology courses. Kinesiology majors are composed of a broad spectrum of courses designed to expose students to a variety of experiences, concepts, and philosophies centered on human movement. A grade of C or better must be obtained in all departmental core courses, elective core courses, and in UCORE courses used as prerequisites for departmental courses. All letter-graded courses specifically required for each major must be taken for a letter grade (i.e., not pass, fail). In addition, each major has a specialized curriculum designed to meet the requirements of the appropriate professional experience in which the student is interested. Students interested in Health and Fitness Education must be admitted to the teacher preparation program. Graduates with a degree in Kinesiology will be able to: Identify moral questions, reflect on the implications and apply to discipline issues. Be continuous, collaborative learners who further their own professional development and use their abilities to contribute to the profession. Identify the central body of knowledge in kinesiology and use scientific literacy, quantitative reasoning and discipline knowledge to analyze contemporary issues. Communicate effectively to a broad range of audiences using appropriate traditional and emerging technological media. Use pedagogical knowledge to inform their practice. Promote respect of diverse populations and thought. Practical application of theory and knowledge in the Sport Science major is obtained through enrollment in practicum hours during the sophomore, junior, and senior years and through the completion of a 10-12 credit internship at the end of the required coursework. The internship serves as the bridge between the student's college career and opportunities for employment in Sport Science.
