PURPOSES
AND GOALS
Kinesiology is the study of human
movement and all its manifestations. Liberally educated people must
understand and appreciate the importance of movement to their quality of
life. Toward this end, the department provides a program which serves the
University Wellness Requirement; a comprehensive major with emphases in
Early Childhood through Adolescence (formerly grades K-12) teaching, sport
pedagogy, exercise management, or exercise science; a comprehensive major
in athletic training; standard majors in movement science and Early
Childhood through Early Adolescence (formerly grades K-9) teaching; minors
in science of coaching, adaptive physical education, kinesiology; and 20
intercollegiate sports.
Through a required set of core
courses and related emphasis areas, the department seeks to develop in its
majors an understanding of human movement and an appreciation of the
scientific principles of the field of Kinesiology. All the programs of the
department are designed to stimulate intellectual development, instill
leadership qualities, and promote service to others.

Admission to Athletic Training
Major
The Athletic Training major has
candidacy status with the Joint Review Committee on Educational Programs
in Athletic Training (JRC-AT) and is working toward accreditation by the
Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
(Note: Having candidacy status does not guarantee program accreditation,
and final determination of accreditation will not occur until the
2003-2004 academic year or later. Graduating students will not be eligible
to sit for the National Athletic Trainers' Association Board of
Certification (NATABOC) certification examination until accreditation is
achieved. The program director will assist each student in transferring to
an accredited undergraduate program or entry-level graduate program should
the athletic training education program not receive accreditation.)
This major prepares students to
become entry-level certified athletic trainers who are highly educated and
skilled professionals that provide health care for athletes and those
participating in physical activity. Certified athletic trainers may work
in high schools, colleges/universities, clinics/hospitals, professional
sports teams, or in corporations/industries.
Formal application may be made to
the Athletic Training Major during the second semester of the first year
of attendance. This will allow selected students to start the three-year
course of study during the fall semester of the following year. The number
of students admitted to the program is limited by resources available. Not
everyone who applies can be guaranteed admission (currently 12 new
students are admitted each year).
The Athletic Training Education
Program Committee will screen students for admission to the program and
make recommendations to the department chair. At the time of application,
students must submit:
1. completed program application
form.
2. transcripts indicating an
overall GPA of 2.50 or higher on a minimum of 25 credits of degree work.
3. proof of the completion of 100
hours of observation under the direct supervision of a certified
athletic trainer.
4. transcripts indicating
completion of Kins 274 or hold a current American Red Cross CPR and
First Aid card.
5. evidence of being tuberculosis
free (University Health Services offers TB tests).
6. evidence of receiving at least
two of the three required immunizations in the hepatitis B vaccine
series and verification of immunization history for measles, mumps,
rubella, tetanus, and diptheria.
7. completion of Kins 192,
Introduction to Athletic Training, with a grade of "B" (3.00) or above.
8. documentation of compliance
with the Athletic Training Education Program Technical Standards for
Admission, which are based on the physical, cognitive, and attitudinal
abilities that an entry-level athletic trainer must possess.
Student admission will be based
on the following criteria:
1. performance evaluations by
clinical supervisors
2. interview
3. cumulative university GPA
Retention
Once admitted into the Athletic
Training major, the student must meet the following criteria to remain in
the major:
1. maintain a 3.00 GPA in all
athletic training courses
2. continue to be in compliance with
the Athletic Training Education Program Technical Standards for Admission
and the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) Code of Ethics.
In order to be eligible to graduate
from this program a student must achieve a 2.75 or higher total GPA.
Transfer Students
Transfer students must meet all
application requirements prior to application to the program. Kins 192
must be taken on campus. Transfer students who are interested in the
Athletic Training major should inform the Admission Office upon
application for admission to the University and contact the Athletic
Training Education program director.
Student Transportation
Students in the athletic training
education program must provide their own transportation to and from
clinical experiences. Some clinical experiences may require travel to
other communities.
