Physical Activities Courses
All physical activity courses are elective and noncredit and available only to students enrolled in Kinesiology. Students should consult with a faculty advisor concerning the applicability of these courses for entry into careers such as teaching.
In an attempt to satisfy those students who are keenly interested in teaching, the Sport Proficiency Certification Programme is being introduced in the Fall of 1980. The contents of the programme would be tied to the requirements of the Colleges of Education and result in a more marketable graduate in this field. A small fee may be charged to cover the costs of printed materials, additional instruction, etc. Further information regarding this programme can be found in the Kinesiology Undergraduate Student Handbook.
