Single Subject Teaching Credential Prepartation
Kinesiology, as the study of human movement, utilizes a comprehensive and integrative approach to examine phenomena related to all aspects of physical activity. The curriculum offered by the Department of Kinesiology prepares graduates who can apply kinesiological principles to the acquisition, performance, and refinement of motor skills and to the use of physical activity as an educative tool and a medium for health promotion, personal well being, and participation in an active life style. The curriculum addresses human movement across the life span from biological/physical, behavioral, socio-cultural, and humanistic perspectives, with attention given to the unique and common needs of all people in a wide variety of contexts and conditions.
In conjunction with the broader educational mission of the University, the kinesiology major program prepares students to lead and participate in a modern complex society and to assume multiple roles throughout their lifetimes. Graduates have acquired knowledge and experiences that prepare them to pursue lifelong learning, advanced study, and/or careers in such areas as teaching, coaching, adapted physical education, allied health fields, health and fitness industries, sport industries, athletic training, or exercise and movement science. To achieve this mission the kinesiology major provides students with a well structured set of curricular and co-curricular experiences and the mentorship to derive a sound education from the university experience.
The Department of Kinesiology programs lead to the B.S. or M.A. degrees. In both programs a core of courses is required. Beyond this core, the kinesiology student chooses a concentration of courses with a specific focus. The undergraduate may select physical education, adapted physical education, exercise science, athletic training, or interdisciplinary studies in kinesiology. Theoretical and practical learning experiences are an important part of all concentrations. Students are required to participate in a variety of field experiences, working as coaching assistants, teacher?s aides, exercise/recreation leaders, student athletic trainers, and instructors for disabled students .
Prior to beginning upper-division studies in Kinesiology, students should have acquired the certain knowledge and skills necessary for success. Courses with specific application to the kinesiology degree are included as support courses for the major. All students entering the upper-division kinesiology degree should:
? be able to utilize computing technology in support of inquiry.
? demonstrate knowledge of a broad range of concepts, issues, facts and theories derived from the biological, physical, behavioral, and social sciences, and from the humanities.
? demonstrate critical thinking, writing, reading, oral communication, quantitative and qualitative analysis, and information management skills.
? document experience in a variety of movement forms and fitness activities.
At the completion of the undergraduate degree all graduates should:
All majors in the Department of Kinesiology must complete the support courses and the major core courses. Each major selects a concentration in which to complete the major.
? demonstrate knowledge and skill in a broad variety of movement and fitness activities.
? understand the biological/physical and behavioral bases of movement and the changes that occur across the life span, within diverse populations, and under a variety of environmental conditions.
? understand the socio-cultural and humanistic bases of movement with diverse cultures, historical periods, and social settings.
? understand how motor skills are acquired and fitness achieved and maintained across the life span and within diverse populations.
? understand the relationship among movement, conditioning, and training, well-being and skill across the life span and under a variety of environmental and personally unique conditions.
? know how to apply kinesiological knowledge to enhance motor skill and fitness in a variety of populations and conditions.
? apply critical thinking, writing, reading, oral communication, quantitative and qualitative analysis, and information management skills to movement-related questions.
? demonstrate knowledge of the conditions of safe practice in movement-related contexts across the life span and within diverse populations, and respond appropriately to common injuries occurring during physical activity.
? be able to use and apply kinesiological data collection techniques and measurement theory to assess, analyze and evaluate human performance.
? understand the scientific method and other systematic ways of knowing relative to research and scholarship in human movement.
? demonstrate ability to integrate multidisciplinary knowledge bases of kinesiology in an applied, problem solving context.
? be familiar with standards, ethics, and expectations of professional communities related to human movement.
? be prepared to engage in professionally related community activities.
? be prepared to engage in informed dialogue with diverse professional and lay communities regarding kinesiological principles and practices.
? demonstrate additional in-depth knowledge and skills associated with study in any one of the concentrations, specializations, or emphases that are associated with kinesiology degrees.

Integrated Degree and Credential Program
Students in their freshmen year who are interested in becoming public school physical education teachers can enroll in a program of study that integrates a B.S. in Kinesiology with a concentration in Physical Education, with the requirements necessary to obtain a teaching credential. This plan of study merges the degree and credential courses, subsequently exposing students to public school teaching experiences from their freshmen through senior years. In addition, if students follow the designed advising plan, they have the potential of completing their course of study in less time than if the degree and credential programs were taken back to back. This program may necessitate students taking one or two summer school sessions.Freshman Year

Admission Procedures
Students must apply to the University through the Office of Admissions and Records, and must complete a separate application to the Kinesiology Department. Students may be admitted as conditionally classified or classified graduate students. The procedures for each are as follows:Conditionally Classified Graduate
Application for students interested in pursuing a master?s degree in kinesiology will be forwarded to the department for consideration. The student must submit, along with the application to the Office of Admissions, transcripts of all college work. These should show a bachelor?s degree or its equivalent and a grade point average of at least 3.00 for the last 60 units of work attempted. Students who have degrees in other areas of study must make up deficiencies in undergraduate areas: descriptive statistics, biomechanics, psychological basis of human movement, physiology of exercise. Only one (up to 4 units) of these courses may be counted toward the M.A. degree. Completion of WEPT required.Classified Graduate
Classified graduate students are those who have completed all admission requirements and undergraduate course work and have been admitted to the University and the master?s degree program in the Department of Kinesiology.
Application to the department must include two letters of recommendation from individuals familiar with the applicant?s academic work and a detailed personal statement indicating the applicant?s academic and professional interests and goals.
Please see the Degree Requirements section in this catalog for post-baccalaureate degree requirements.
The graduate coordinator serves as advisor to all conditionally classified graduate students until the students select a major advisor and advance to classified graduate status.
Advancement to Candidacy for the M.A. Degree
The Advancement to Candidacy form (GSO1) describes the culminating project and verifies that the student has met the Writing Proficiency Requirement. This form must be approved by all members of the student?s project committee and the department graduate coordinator before being forwarded to the Associate Vice President for Academic Programs. At completion of all coursework and the culminating project, the GS02 form is approved by the department and forwarded to the Associate Vice President for final review and approval prior to granting of the M.A. degree.Kinesiology Courses (KIN)
