Interdisciplinary Concentration

Fall Semester (15-16 Units)

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.
