Department of Kinesiology

Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology may select a concentration in athletic training, rehabilitation science, exercise science, physical education, or strength and conditioning. Students with a concentration in athletic training are prepared to pursue state licensure in athletic training careers. The student must be admitted into the Athletic Training Apprenticeship Program within the UTSA Athletic Department in order to pursue this concentration. National certification in athletic training requires additional academic training in an accredited graduate program. Students with a concentration in rehabilitation science are prepared to pursue careers in health care such as physical therapy and/or occupational therapy. Physical and/or occupational therapy licensure requires additional academic training in an accredited graduate program. Students with a concentration in exercise science are trained for careers in exercise science, clinical exercise, and fitness programming in corporate, commercial, medical, and public settings. Graduates of this concentration are prepared for professional certifications in fitness and exercise physiology. The physical education concentration provides students the academic and professional experience required by the State Board for Educator Certification. To be certified as a teacher by the State of Texas, a student must complete their coursework, have practical teaching experience (student teaching), and pass the Texas Examinations of Educator Standards (TExES). The graduate of this program will then be certified to teach physical education in grades pre-kindergarten–12. Prior to starting the practical teaching experience, a student must be accepted into the Teacher Certification Program. Please refer to the section on Teacher Certification Program in the catalog for more information. Students who graduate from the strength and conditioning concentration will be prepared to earn strength and conditioning specialist certification (CSCS) from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).

Department Honors

The Department of Kinesiology awards Department Honors to certain outstanding students and provides the opportunity for advanced study under close faculty supervision.

Selection of honors designation is based on the student’s academic performance and recommendation by the faculty of the student’s major discipline. To be eligible for the program, students must have a minimum overall grade point average of 3.0 at UT San Antonio and a minimum grade point average of 3.5 in their major at UT San Antonio. The minimum grade point averages must be maintained for students to receive the approval of the Department Honors Committee and the discipline faculty. Students applying for Department Honors are expected to enroll in the appropriate honors thesis course during their final two semesters. The completed thesis must be approved by the supervising faculty sponsor and another departmental faculty member. Students interested in this program should contact their professors for additional information.

B.S. degree in Kinesiology

Bachelor of Science Degree in Kinesiology (Physical Education Concentration)

This program provides students with the opportunity to pursue a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Physical Education. The physical education concentration provides students the academic and professional experience as required by the State Board for Educator Certification. To be certified as a teacher by the State of Texas, a student must complete their coursework, have practical teaching experience (student teaching), and pass the Texas Examinations of Educator Standards (TExES). The graduate of this program will then be certified to teach physical education in grades pre-kindergarten - 12. Prior to starting the practical teaching experience, a student must be accepted into the Teacher Certification Program. The requirements for acceptance into the Teacher Certification Program include a 2.75 cumulative grade point average. Students are expected to maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75 throughout their program. Please refer to the section on Teacher Certification Program in the catalog for more information. All required kinesiology courses and support courses must be completed with a grade of “C-” or better.

Academic advising for students seeking the Physical Education concentration is available in the Interdisciplinary Education Advising Center.

Core Curriculum Requirements (42 semester credit hours)

Students seeking the B.S. degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Physical Education must fulfill University Core Curriculum requirements in the same manner as other students.
