BS in Kinesiology
Kinesiology is the science of human movement and physical activity. Students majoring in Kinesiology study how people learn new motor skills, the effects of exercise on the physiology and biomechanics of the human body, how to best treat and rehabilitate sports injuries, teaching physical education to K-12 students, and much more. Kinesiology is part of the fastest growing body of professions in the nation, with Bureau of Labor Statistics estimating future growth in related positions at nearly three times the national average for all occupations combined. Classes in the Department of Kinesiology prepare students for certifications as Strength and Conditioning Specialists, Personal Trainers, Physical Education teachers with certification, Health Fitness Instructors, Exercise Specialists, Clinical Exercise Physiologists, and for graduate programs in Kinesiology, Physical and Occupational Therapy, medical school and many others. Students at the undergraduate level select from two concentrations: Exercise Science and Physical Education Teacher Education.
Marketable Skills
- Students will gain the knowledge and analytical thinking skills of the physiological, mechanical, and structural functioning, and manners of how to improve function of the human body in relation to physical activity and exercise.
- Students will be able to effectively use instrumentation for training and measurement of selected physical functions.
- Students will be able to develop programs designed to improve physiological, mechanical, and structural functions.
- Students will be able to function skillfully as a teacher of physical education.
Learning Outcomes
- Effectively identify peer-reviewed articles relevant to a specific issue, accurately interpret the results and conclusions, and relate them to our current understanding of that issue.
- Accurately describe chronic diseases and disabilities, disease progressions, treatments, and adaptations resulting from exercise.
- Properly conduct and evaluate appropriate health risk appraisals and physical performance assessments for diverse populations with various health conditions.
- Apply established scientific principles to develop an appropriate, safe, and effective exercise prescription based on the data and evaluation of the health risk appraisals and physical performance assessments.
- Display a firm understanding of the importance and value of ethical and professional standards of practice and apply them when working with individuals.
- Demonstrate knowledge and skills equivalent to what is required to pass the ACSM-CCEP, and/or ACSM-EIM Level 1 and 2 certification and credentialing exams.
The Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology-Exercise Science requires:
- Completion of the general university core,
- Support Courses,
- Kinesiology Core,
- Kinesiology Electives,
- General elective courses to reach the 120 credit minimum.
The Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology-Physical Education Teacher Education requires:
- Completion of the general university core.
- Support Courses,
- Kinesiology-Physical Education Core,
- Physical Education Professional Courses,
- All-Level Education minor
Students wishing to obtain a teaching certificate must select the Physical Education Teacher Education Concentration and the All-Level Education Minor. The Exercise Science is the appropriate concentration for students interested in careers in the fitness industry or in graduate study in Exercise Science, Physical Therapy, Public Health, Medical School, or similar fields.
Students who participate in internships with agencies or school districts requiring background checks must successfully pass the background check in order to complete the internship requirements. See http://utep.edu/chs/compliance/ for more information.
Students who already have a bachelor's degree in another field and who wish to pursue a teaching certificate to teach physical education, should examine the College of Education section of this catalog. Students desiring to pursue a Master of Science in Kinesiology should consult the Graduate Catalog.
Preparing for Graduate School
Kinesiology majors who are interested in pursuing masters or doctoral degrees (for example, programs in Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Public Health, Medical School, etc.) are advised to select the Exercise Science concentration. Students can include the prerequisite courses for admission to graduate programs as part of their elective credits in the degree plan. Prerequisites for graduate programs at other universities may differ from those at UTEP. For specific prerequisites to admission into graduate programs at UTEP, see the UTEP Graduate Catalog.
Fast Track
The Fast-Track Program enables outstanding undergraduate UTEP students to receive both undergraduate and graduate credit for up to 15 hours of UTEP course work as determined by participating Master's and Doctoral programs. Not all undergraduate programs have elected to participate in the Fast Track option, so students should see their departmental graduate advisor for information about requirements and guidelines. A list of courses that have been approved for possible use at the graduate level is found here.
