Movement Studies

Description of Program

The Movement Studies emphasis in Kinesiology is a standard major requiring 36 credits. It is a general liberal arts degree, providing an understanding of Kinesiology and appreciation of human movement. It is the only emphasis in Kinesiology which is not a comprehensive major and therefore a minor outside of the Kinesiology department or a second major is required for graduation. Choosing a minor (minimum of 24 credits) or second major will be an important part of the student's preparation for career choices and/or further education. Any combination of this emphasis and a minor or second major must contain 60 unique credits. It is helpful to choose a minor in the first or second year so that a timely graduation is possible. A topical minor may interest some students. To look at the requirements for a topical minor please check the catalog.
