    Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology
    The Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology requires (1) a General Education Core of 44 hours, (2) Kinesiology courses of 39-42 hours, (3) an 18-hour minor, and (4) 6 hours of upper-division electives. Students wishing to obtain a teaching certificate must select the Physical Education Concentration and the Education Minor. Students interested in a career in the adult fitness industry or in graduate study in exercise science, physical therapy, or similar fields should select the Exercise Science Concentration. Students wishing to work in sports management or administration should select the Sports Management Concentration and the Business Minor.

    Students who already have a bachelor's degree in some other field and who wish to pursue a teaching certificate to teach physical education should refer to the College of Education section of the catalog. Students desiring to pursue a Master of Science in Kinesiology should consult the Graduate Catalog.
