OVERVIEW
The Department of Kinesiology is committed to providing quality educational programs that emphasize scientific theory, hands-on learning in the laboratory setting and real-world application through clinical internships and other field-based experiences. The faculty's vast teaching experience and research expertise provide rich learning experiences across all of the department's academic programs.
The undergraduate studies within the Department of Kinesiology are organized into three areas: Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology (Physical Education Teacher Education, Sports Leadership & Management), Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science (Clinical & Applied Physiology; Health, Fitness, & Wellness; and Motor & Rehabilitation Sciences), and Bachelor of Science in Public Health. Each of these academic programs share a common core of kinesiology courses that provide students with a strong foundation in the sciences of human anatomy, biomechanics, motor behavior, and exercise physiology, as well as an introduction to research methodology. In addition to the kinesiology core, each undergraduate degree plan provides a comprehensive discipline-specific program of study designed to prepare students for a specific career path.
The Department of Kinesiology also offers an accelerated (3+2) Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science (Health, Fitness, & Wellness) to Master of Science in Athletic Training. This track enables high-achieving undergraduate students to begin taking MSAT courses in their 4th year and complete the MSAT in their 5th year.
The Department of Kinesiology offers multiple degree plan options that work towards meeting the prerequisite requirements for admission to athletic training, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and physician's assistant graduate programs, as well as medical and dental schools.
The undergraduate program areas are listed below. Complete degree plans, descriptions, and course requirements are provided on subsequent pages.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN EXERCISE SCIENCE
The Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science is designed to provide a foundation of the movement and exercise science to students interested in pursuing careers associated with therapy and rehabilitation, fitness and training, and research with typical and atypical populations. The three tracks are designed to provide a thorough foundation in three areas of Exercise Science: Clinical & Applied Physiology, Health, Fitness, & Wellness, and Motor & Rehabilitation Sciences. All KINE listed courses are designed for majors only.
The Clinical & Applied Physiology (CAP) Track incorporates prerequisites and prepares students for graduate school applications in physical therapy, physician assistant, and medical/dental schools.
The Motor & Rehabilitation Sciences (MRS) Track incorporates prerequisites and prepares students for graduate school applications in occupational therapy, as well as careers and research in pediatrics and special populations, biomechanics, motor behavior and rehabilitation sciences.
The Health, Fitness, & Wellness (HFW) Track prepares students for careers in strength conditioning, personal training, cardiac rehabilitation, and corporate wellness & fitness. It also prepares students for certifications programs such as ACSM, HFS, NSCA, CSCS. In addition, it incorporates prerequisites and prepares students for graduate school applications in athletic training.
The Health, Fitness, & Wellness (HFW) to Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) 3+2 track enables high-achieving undergraduate students to begin taking MSAT courses in their 4th year and complete the MSAT in their 5th year. This program is designed for students with a goal of becoming an athletic trainer. Undergraduates will apply to the MSAT program during their third year, and if accepted, will begin taking MSAT courses in the summer of their third year. They will graduate with their Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science in their fourth year and with their Master of Science in Athletic Training at the end of their fifth year.
Admission Requirements:
To ensure that all students develop a solid academic foundation, all first time, first-year freshman students (regardless of intended major) must obtain academic advising and clearance for registration from an advisor in the Division of Student Success during their first year. After the first year, students should seek advisement from the Exercise Science Advisor in the Department of Kinesiology prior to each semester and summer sessions. Transfer students must seek academic advising from the Exercise Science Advisor in the Department of Kinesiology immediately. All incoming freshmen and transfer students wishing to major in Exercise Science are initially classified as Exercise Science pre-majors.
To be classified as an Exercise Science major, students must satisfy the following requirements:
Clinical & Applied Physiology Track
- Completion of 12 hours at UT Arlington
- Overall GPA of 3.00 and KINE GPA of 3.00 by completion of KINE 3415 and a grade of “B” or better at KINE 3415.

Maintaining Major Status:
Students accepted as Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science majors in the Department of Kinesiology must maintain the minimum GPAs as indicated above or they will be on departmental probation. Students who are on departmental probation must meet with their academic advisor for future enrollment options. If the student is unable to make up the deficiency in the semester immediately following the probation, the student will lose status as a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science major. Courses to make up the GPA deficiency must be taken at UT Arlington. No courses on the degree plan may be taken as pass/fail.

- Complete each additional course with a grade of C or better. Students who earn below a C will be dismissed from the program.
- Maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA. Students who earn below a 3.0 cumulative GPA will be placed on academic probation for one semester. If the student does not earn a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher by the end of the probationary semester, the student will be dismissed from the program.
*Students who are dismissed from the program and have not yet completed their bachelor’s degree will be able to take undergraduate electives to complete their degree. They will also be eligible to apply for regular admissions to the MSAT program upon completion of their bachelor’s degree. - Adhere to documents which outline professional behaviors, including but not limited to the MSAT Student Handbook, BOC Standards of Professional Practice, the NATA Code of Ethics, and course syllabi.

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INDUSTRIAL/ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY
The program and curriculum are designed for students who intend to pursue an applied, professional career as practitioners in the field. The program offers both a thesis (41 hours) and a non-thesis option (38 hours); however, all students enter the program under the non-thesis option. The decision to change to a thesis option will be made on a case-by-case basis and will be based on the student's aptitude and career focus, as well as on the fit between the student and the faculty mentor. Whether thesis or non-thesis option is chosen, all students earn a Master of Science in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and will therefore be required to conduct research related to I/O Psychology. Required psychology courses include PYSC 5405, 5407, 5324, 5325, 5326, 5327 (5127 and 5227), 5330, 5342, 6300, and 5391 OR 5698. Students are also required to complete 400-hours of an outside internship. Students typically complete their thesis or non-thesis option (Individual Research) at the end of their second year.
