COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology requires students to complete core liberal arts courses in math, natural science with lab, philosophy, and social science, including MA 120 or higher, BI 105 or BI 111/112, PL 255 Ethics, and PY 101 General Psychology. The Kinesiology foundational curriculum (41–42 credits) builds a strong scientific and professional base, beginning with EN 112 Composition II or an advanced writing course. Students must also complete courses in chemistry (CH 131 or CH 135), statistics (MA 155 or SO 230), and physics (PH 117 or PH 231). Foundational kinesiology courses include KN 101 Introduction to Kinesiology, KN 216 Functional Anatomy and Physiology, KN 310 Applied Sports Medicine, KN 319 Biomechanics and Motor Control, KN 376 Motor Behavior, KN 381 Exercise Physiology, KN 393 Sports Psychology, and KN 420 Stress Physiology. For the capstone requirement, students select either KN 472 Strength and Conditioning Field Experience or KN 499 Research Seminar. Majors then choose one concentration—General Kinesiology (15 credits), which prepares students for careers in fitness, health, and wellness through courses such as KN 236 Exercise Testing and Technique, KN 271 Exercise and Nutrition, KN 314 Exercise Programming, and two kinesiology electives, allowing flexibility for specialization and professional development.
