INTRODUCTION
The mission of the Department of Kinesiology is to provide a broad understanding of human motor performance through its degree programs and through the scholarship and creativity of its faculty and students. Emphasis is placed on examination of the entire lifespan from infancy to older adult years, with special attention to understanding human movement in the context of a diverse and ever-changing society. The department’s degree programs include foundation courses, essential disciplinary core courses, and advising tracks related to multiple career objectives and subdisciplines within the human movement field. The cross-disciplinary focus of the department’s curriculum fosters the development of a diversity of values and skills important to a liberal arts education: critical thinking, leadership, verbal and written communication, technological competency, and performance and wellness assessment.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology offers students a variety of professional focus areas such as education, sports, therapeutic intervention, and fitness/wellness. The undergraduate minor in kinesiology, also based upon core curricula, provides opportunities for professional and/or personal enhancement.
The Master of Science degree in Kinesiology has a required core curriculum, plus individualized courses leading to professional or disciplinary specific preparation.
In addition, select courses within the curriculum service the general education program, various credential programs, and other university degree programs that require a human movement foundation. Performance courses provide university-wide opportunities for development of skills and knowledge leading to lifelong enjoyment of physical activity, health, well-being and worthy use of leisure time. Internships, practica, independent study, and scholarly outreach provide opportunities for interaction and service within the community.
Student Awards/Scholarships

To be admitted into the graduate program in Kinesiology, a student must further submit to the Kinesiology graduate program: (1) transcripts showing an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology, Exercise Science, or Physical Education with a grade-point average of at least 3.0 in upper-division major coursework; (2) Graduate Record Exam scores general test; (3) a 500-word essay describing the applicant's academic preparation and goals in the area of intended study within the degree program; and (4) two letters of recommendation. Screening of fall semester applicants begins March 1; screening of spring semester applicants begins November 1.
Students who meet the general university requirements, but do not meet the Kinesiology degree requirements, may apply to the university for postbaccalaureate-unclassified standing. Any student without an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology, Exercise Science, Physical Education, or a related field must complete a prescribed set of undergraduate coursework (usually about 12 units) with a grade-point average of at least 3.0. Any student with a grade-point average deficiency must complete additional undergraduate coursework as specified by the Kinesiology graduate program adviser. Once all admission requirements are subsequently met, a change of program may be requested from postbaccalaureate-unclassified standing to conditionally classified in Kinesiology.
Classified Standing
Classified standing requires the development of a study plan (see below) approved by the faculty adviser, graduate studies committee, kinesiology graduate program adviser, and office of graduate studies. No more than nine units of graduate work taken before classification may be included on the study plan. Any changes to the study plan after classified standing is granted must be approved in advance, in writing, by the Kinesiology graduate program.
Advancement to Candidacy
Advancement to candidacy is attained by requesting a graduation check in the semester prior to graduation (see class schedule for deadlines) and receiving subsequent approval from the graduate studies adviser on the grad check completion review form, mailed by the Graduate Studies Office. Students not completing requirements by the graduation date specified on the original graduation check must contact the Graduate Studies Office.
Graduate Advisement
Students should consult with the Kinesiology graduate studies adviser for general information regarding the program. Upon acceptance to the program, students choose or are assigned a faculty adviser who assists in developing the study plan. Thesis/project advisers are selected in consultation with the student, faculty adviser, and potential thesis/project chair. Students may not register for thesis/project without the consent of the thesis/project chair.
GRADUATE STUDY PLAN
The graduate degree in Kinesiology consists of a total of 30 units, at least 18 units of which must be 500 level.
