KINESIOLOGY, MS
Kinesiology
Degrees offered include the Master of Science and the Educational Specialist. At the master's degree level, students may specialize in Exercise Physiology (see listing below for more information about this program) or complete a teacher certification program (traditional master’s program for those holding a valid B level certificate in physical education or the alternative master’s program for those NOT completing an undergraduate physical education teacher education program). The traditional master's and the educational specialist link teacher certification with the graduate program in physical education. For example, the M.S. awards the level A certificate and the Ed.S. is linked to the AA certificate. Each program requires a teaching certificate in physical education at the previous level (e.g., B certificate for admission to the A level, except the Alternative A program, and the A certificate for admission to the AA certificate).
Dispositions
Faculty individually review the professional dispositions (behaviors and attitudes) of students within each course in accordance with the School of Education’s policy and procedure. Additionally, faculty will collectively review student dispositions and overall progress in the program at the end of each semester. Dispositional areas identified as deficient could result in termination from the program.
