The Department of Kinesiology offers seven undergraduate majors. An undergraduate Bachelor of Science major for the preparation of teachers and coaches leads to a Standard Teaching Certificate for K-12. Majors in athletic training, exercise science, fitness specialist, sport communication, and sport marketing and management also lead to the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology.

The athletic training, exercise science, fitness specialist, sport communication, and sport marketing and management programs are interdisciplinary, providing course work in related subject matter as well as appropriate Kinesiology courses. The athletic training major leads to certification by the Board of Certification (BOC). Students who major in the area of fitness will take course work leading to certification by the American College of Sports Medicine.

The undergraduate teacher preparation curriculum is a combination of courses in teaching methodology and the human movement sciences. Professional and technical instruction is given in teaching and coaching the various sports, activities, and dance that are commonly taught in public schools with the addition of appropriate theoretical academic background.

The major in dance is a unique approach to dance education that combines rigorous technical training and artistic development with a strong academic curriculum.
