The Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology prepares students to be physical activity specialists who pursue careers in fitness, health, and medical settings (e.g. health clubs, rehabilitative exercise centers); educational settings (e.g. elementary and secondary schools); and community service agencies (e.g. YMCAs, Boys and Girls Clubs, neighborhood recreation centers).

The Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology has four options:

- Option I - Exercise and Human Performance:  This option prepares students for careers in fitness and related fields. Students acquire skills and knowledge necessary for employment in health and fitness centers, hospitals, orthopedic centers, sports medicine clinics, and similar healthcare environments.

- Option II - Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Exercise: This option prepares students to design, develop and implement exercise programs that meet the specific needs of:

1. people with acute or chronic physical impairments; and
2. healthy older adults;
3. athletes and performers.

Students gain valuable hands-on experience in preparation for employment in rehabilitation clinics, hospitals, senior centers, and sports and performance medicine programs.

- Option III - Subject Matter Preparation for Single Subject Teaching Credential: This option is designed for individuals interested in teaching physical activity that emphasizes the inclusion of all students. Students seeking a teaching credential should see advisers in the School of Kinesiology and Nutritional Science and in the Charter College of Education. Refer to the Charter College of Education sections for regulations governing all teaching credential programs.

- Option IV - Community Leadership of Physical Activity: This option is designed for students interested in delivering physical activity programming within community-based organizations.  This approach features sports/games as a mechanism to enhance resiliency, attributes of responsible behavior, and community strength.
