Movement Areas for Activity Courses


Because the Department of Kinesiology  believes that the benefits of physical activity are obtained more by process than by product alone, the 4 unit activity requirement for the major core cannot be challenged. The activity requirement for the Kinesiology, Area of Specialization in Exercise and Fitness Specialist, BS (2021-2022)  core requires students to take 4 different activities in 4 different movement areas regardless of the unit value assigned. Intercollegiate athletes may use 1 unit of ATH 1 time towards meeting the Physical Education requirement. (4) Your transfer activity classes will likely count for major credit; please check with your advisor.
