Interdisciplinary Concentration


In consultation with their advisors, students design a concentrated course of study or special emphasis track in preparation for a career goal. The concentration must be distinctly different from Kinesiology concentrations already offered. Areas of emphasis may include pre-Occupational Therapy and others.

Students, in consultation with their Kinesiology Interdisciplinary advisor, shall define and describe in writing the specific theme they would like their Interdisciplinary Concentration to be in and select a minimum of 24 units of coursework to fulfill program requirements. Courses in kinesiology and those offered by other departments are appropriate and may be applied to this track. A minimum of 3 units, and not more than 6 units, in Field Experience (KIN 430) and/or Special Studies (KIN 495) must be taken. The proposed study list must be signed by the student and advisor and submitted to the department chair for approval. A copy of the signed, approved study list is placed in the student’s advising folder.

Interdisciplinary Concentration Four Year Plan


Roadmap Notes (for all Kinesiology concentrations)

The Four Year Plan is a sample study plan. The sequence and specific courses given are suggestive. Please see an advisor each semester to plan your academic program and track your progress using the Academic Requirements Report (ARR) in MYSSU.

Courses may be interchanged fall and spring semester depending on course offering each semester.

Transfer Students: To be eligible to transfer into kinesiology, complete BIOL 220 (Human Anatomy) or BIOL 224 (Human Physiology) and have the other course in progress at the time of application. We also recommend using assist.org to find and complete a course that articulates with KIN 201, Foundations of Kinesiology.
