Baccalaureate Core Course (BCC)

^

Writing Intensive Course (WIC)

+

These KIN courses are chosen to meet individual students' educational goals in preparation for their chosen careers. Must take at least 24 total credits of 300- and 400-level KIN courses not included in the Kinesiology Core, and among these credits:

1. Must take at least 3 KIN Lab courses (KIN course with a lab component; credits per course may vary)
2. Must take at least 3 credits of Experiential Learning from the following courses: KIN 301, KIN 306, KIN 401, KIN 406, KIN 410, and KIN practicum courses; or credits earned in research, study abroad, or service-learning experiences. No more than 9 Experiential Learning credits will count toward the 24 total credits required

Minimum Grade Policy

A grade of C– or better is required in all courses fulfilling Kinesiology major requirements (Kinesiology Core, Required Supporting Courses, and KIN Courses Beyond the Core).

Repeated Courses Policy

The university's repeated courses policy will be followed (AR 20). Kinesiology students are allowed at most two attempts to meet individual course degree requirements. Students who do not receive the minimum grade required for a course after two attempts (including courses transferred from other institutions) will not be allowed to have grades earned in subsequent attempts count toward meeting Kinesiology degree requirements. As a result, such students may not be able to complete a degree and/or an option in Kinesiology.

Pre-Therapy and Allied Health is an option with admission standards that may be added to the major. Students may apply for admission to the PTAH option after completion of 90 credits. Requirements for admission can be found under the catalog listing for the PTAH option.
