< College of Applied Life StudiesCURRICULUM IN KINESIOLOGY
The kinesiology curriculum leads to a bachelor of science degree that will prepare students for careers in human movement-related fields and/or advanced professional or graduate study. The undergraduate program provides the student with a broad general education, a departmental core integral to the understanding of the diverse aspects of human movement, and a correlate area of courses specific to the student's area of concentration within kinesiology.
Students who desire certification as a teacher or athletic trainer can satisfy the necessary subject matter requirements by appropriate selection of courses within the several categories of the curriculum. Students seeking such certification should ask the undergraduate academic adviser about admission criteria for the JRC-AT CAAHEP accredited program or the teaching program in physical education and about certification requirements. For teacher certification requirements applicable to all curricula, see the Council on Teacher Education section. The Department of Kinesiology also offers a coaching endorsement to all University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign students, regardless of degree program.
Further information on careers in kinesiology is available from the Academic Affairs Office, Department of Kinesiology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 113 Freer Hall, 906 South Goodwin Avenue, Urbana, IL, 61801, (217) 333-1083.
