The Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology offers several options designed to prepare students for a variety of careers in public school education, exercise science and dance science. Some options also provide academic preparation for students interested in professional schools, e.g., physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician's assistant or medicine. There are some common course requirements for all kinesiology options. Additional hours for each option are specifically designed to prepare students for that field of study. The sequencing of courses should be determined in consultation with an appropriate academic advisor. This option is offered to students wishing to teach physical education in public or private school. The all-level certification qualifies the recipient to teach in preschool–12th grades in physical education/wellness only although students are encouraged to become certified in a support teaching field through the use of core curriculum and support field electives. This degree plan includes a full semester of student teaching in a public school setting after the completion of coursework. This degree plan will provide a program that will lead to successful completion of the certification requirements outlined by the Texas Education Agency.
