Academic Programs / Health ProfessionsKinesiologyRick Swalm, Assistant Chair for Undergraduate Studies http://chpsw.temple.edu/kinesiology/home The undergraduate programs in Kinesiology leading to the Bachelor of Science degree or the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree require students to complete coursework in three broad areas: the General Education (GenEd) Curriculum, the Kinesiology Core, and a professional application of the discipline of Kinesiology. The university General Education Curriculum is divided into nine categories (i.e., Analytical Reading & Writing, Mosaic I & II, Arts, Human Behavior, Global/World Society, U.S. Society, Race & Diversity, Science & Technology, and Quantitative Literacy). Even though there are numerous courses which can be taken to meet these requirements, the department requires Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II (Kinesiology 1223 and 1224) in place of the Science & Technology requirement. All University GenEd courses must be completed with a minimum C- grade in order to count toward graduation. Kinesiology is the study of physical activity. The Kinesiology Core includes a group of foundation courses (Kinesiology 1201, 1223, 1224, 2203, 2204, 3202, 3296, 4296) that deal with the intellectual, physical, social, psychological, and philosophical factors which influence and are influenced by human beings as they move. In addition to taking the foundation courses, students are required to satisfy the forms of movement requirement, which consists of developing knowledge and skills in a broad spectrum of movement activities (i.e., aquatics, fitness, survival, and lifestyle). All Kinesiology Core courses must be completed with a minimum grade of C in order to count toward graduation. The Kinesiology Department offers four professional application options to allow students to concentrate their studies (i.e., the athletic training major, the exercise and sport science concentration, the physical and health education teacher education (PHETE) concentration, and the pre-health professions concentration). Students select the professional application option that satisfies their short term educational and professional objectives. All required professional application courses must be completed with a minimum grade of C in order to count toward graduation (PHETE requires a minimum grade of B-).
The Athletic Training Education Major prepares students to work with physically-active populations (e.g. athletic teams, dance, circus, NASCAR, Disney, rodeo, PT clinics, etc.). The certified athletic trainer functions as an integral member of the athletic health care team in secondary schools, colleges, universities, professional teams, and sports medicine clinics, providing leadership in the prevention, evaluation, immediate care, and rehabilitation of sport-related injuries. The athletic training major requires fulfillment of both academic coursework and clinical fieldwork experiences. This program of study is approved by the Commission on the Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) and is designed to prepare students for certification as athletic trainers by the Board of Certification (BOC) and for Class "A" certification in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Admission into the athletic training program occurs upon students identifying athletic training as their intended course of study. This admission may take place either during the freshmen year or any time afterward. The Exercise and Sport Science Concentration provides students with knowledge and competencies required for professional service in a variety of sport, fitness, wellness and rehabilitation settings. The Exercise and Sport Science Concentration also prepares students for graduate study in exercise physiology or in a variety of related health professions. Program competencies include health screening, fitness assessment, exercise program development, health-fitness counseling, and therapeutic exercise supervision of patients with special needs. Concentration courses include, but are not limited to: advanced exercise physiology, exercise in health and disease, exercise testing and programming, electrocardiography, exercise and aging, and applied technologies. The exercise and sport scientist understands the complexity of the human body and the interaction among physical activity, exercise, and good health. The improved function, health, and well-being of the total person - Body, Mind, and Spirit - are the ultimate goals of professionals in this field. Exercise scientists apply their knowledge, skills, and beliefs to all people regardless of gender, age, social status, and current health-related fitness level or disease state. Wherever there is a need to improve functionality, health-fitness, medical prognosis, optimal aging, or wellness, one will find an exercise scientist providing leadership in programs that help individuals optimize their lives and health. In summary, exercise science is a stimulating area of study and a rewarding professional application with a very bright future. Teacher education is the focus of the Physical and Health Education Teacher Education (PHETE) Concentration. This concentration prepares students to teach physical and health education in public and private schools (grades K through 12). The PHETE concentration integrates academic preparation with fieldwork experiences each semester, culminating in a dual-level (secondary and elementary) full semester, student-teaching experience. Coursework in discipline specific content, methods of teaching, assessment and evaluation, educational psychology, educational foundations, cultural diversity and adapted activities, and administration all help teacher education students assume their roles as competent teachers in today's society. Admission into the PHETE program takes place after the sophomore year upon completing the pre-admission coursework; two in-school teaching experiences; the PECT PAPA tests in reading, mathematics, and writing; and the Praxis II test in fundamental content knowledge, as well as an interview with the PHETE faculty. All PHETE and Public Health courses must be completed with a minimum grade of B- in order to count toward admission and graduation. All PHETE and Health courses are valid toward certification for a maximum of five (5) years. If one does not get certified within this time period, those courses that have expired must be retaken. A cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater is required for admission into the junior year and certification. After admission, one additional Praxis II test is required for certification: Health and Physical Education Content Knowledge. Upon completion of the PHETE concentration, passing the appropriate standardized tests, and applying to the Pennsylvania Department of Education for an Instructional I Certificate in Health and Physical Education, graduates will be licensed to teach K-12 Health and Physical Education by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Pre-Health Professions Concentration prepares students for admission into Graduate Programs in a multitude of the Health Professions such as Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Medicine, Dentistry, Physician's Assistant, etc. The Department of Kinesiology's Core is a perfect complement to the standard prerequisite courses and expanded elective courses available through this concentration. This combination of coursework and practical experience will position students well for continued study at the graduate level. While the Pre-Health Professions concentration includes the standard prerequisite courses and the option for elective courses for admission into Graduate Programs for a multitude of Health Professions, students are advised to check the prerequisites for their intended graduate programs and work these into their programs where elective coursework is afforded. Students are also advised to maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (B) since entry into graduate programs in the health professions is highly competitive. A "B" or better in the specific prerequisites is required for most graduate programs. In addition to the Pre-Health Professions concentration, the Department of Kinesiology has a memorandum of understanding with Temple University's Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program providing academically-gifted students the opportunity to enter into a 3 + 3 program, thus allowing students who are accepted into Temple's DPT program at the conclusion of their junior year to count the first year of their DPT program as the fourth year of their undergraduate studies, thus eliminating one year of academic work. Students can only start the 3 + 3 program the first semester of their freshmen year.
University RequirementsAll new students are required to complete the university's General Education (GenEd) curriculum. All students must take a minimum of two writing-intensive courses. The specific writing-intensive courses required for this major are listed below and identified with the code "WI" in the Attribute column.
Curriculum and Degree RequirementsAll students must complete 1-4 below: 1. GenEd Curriculum (35-38 s.h.) - Selected Courses Note: All courses in the Department of Kinesiology and required courses in the selected professional application options must be completed with a minimum grade of C. The PHETE program has a more stringent requirement of a minimum grade of B- in all PHETE courses and required health and education courses. The Kinesiology Core and program requirements must be satisfactorily completed prior to enrolling in any internship/externship or student teaching experience. Professional Application Option RequirementsStudents must select a professional application option and electives to complete their requirements for graduation. There are four professional application options available: (a) the athletic training major, (b) the exercise and sport science concentration, (c) the physical and health education teacher education (PHETE) concentration, and (d) the pre-health professions concentration. They are more fully described below. Kinesiology Foundation Requirements Kinesiology 1223 (4 s.h.) - Human Anatomy & Physiology I
Kinesiology Departmental RequirementsKinesiology 1201 (3 s.h.) - Introduction to Kinesiology Kinesiology 3202 (4 s.h.) - Biomechanics of Physical Activity Forms of Movement Requirement Physical Fitness Activity In Fall 2008, the Department of Kinesiology established the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training. This degree may be conferred upon a student by recommendation of the faculty upon the satisfactory completion of 124 semester hours of credit. The other three professional application concentrations require 128 semester hours of credit to satisfy their respective graduation requirements.
