The program in kinesiology offers a complete curriculum that prepares students for a variety of careers in the public and private sectors and in teaching. Degrees include Bachelor of Science and Master of Science with a major in kinesiology. A teacher certification program is available, which is a standard all-level certificate in physical education (kinesiology) at the bachelor’s level.
Grad Track Pathway
The Grad Track Pathway in Kinesiology is a Master of Science degree program that offers early provisional admission to graduate school for exceptional undergraduate students and allow for the students to earn both a Bachelor and a Master degree in Kinesiology in 5 years or less total; this is accomplished by allowing students to use up to 12 graduate level credits simultaneously towards both their bachelors and their masters degrees (double dip). Students first earn a Bachelor of Kinesiology (or minor in extremely specific circumstances) and when all degree requirements are met to then, if they choose to, they can progress on the path towards a Master’s degree. As such, the Grad Track Pathway is defined by a set of graduate courses (almost all KINE graduate courses offered) that apply both towards the bachelor’s degree and then the Master’s degree in Kinesiology.
The graduate course work taken for undergraduate credit will be considered advance credit, included in the student’s undergraduate GPA, and importantly assessed at the lower undergraduate tuition rate. Advanced credit includes any 5000 or 6000 level courses approved for use in Grad Track Pathways in Kinesiology (almost all KINE graduate courses offered). Graduate course work taken for undergraduate credit as part of a Grad Track Pathway applies to the associated graduate degree when the student has completed the bachelor’s degree and has been unconditionally admitted to the associated graduate degree program.
