Dear Dr. Betsy Beise,
In the beginning of the Spring' II semester" the faculty of the Kinesiology department undertook the task to review the
B.S. in Kinesiology learning outcomes and curriculum.
The committee deliberated on a mission for the undergraduate program, the degree learning outcomes, and a model
curriculum that best supported the mission and learning outcomes.
The Kinesiology curricular review committee considered several issues in its deliberations. Among them were:
- Assuring a curriculum that meets the needs of our Kinesiology undergraduates for the 21 st century
Designing a curriculum that reflects the revised Kinesiology undergraduate learning outcomes
Allow articulation and integration with the new UMD General Education program
Complying with requirements mandated by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) accreditation
for degree programs in the School of Public Health
Providing flexibility in curricular offl~rings that were responsive to student needs
Improving research and scholarly preparation
Improving the physical activity requirement to better integrate it with the other courses in the Kinesiology
curriculum
The recommendations of the committee we:re discussed, amended and approved by the full Kinesiology faculty on
January 23, 2012. Dr. Bradley Hatfield (department chair) and Dr. Colleen Fanner (assistant dean) and the faculty in
the department of Kinesiology are supportive of the requests for curriculum change listed in this document.
Requestfor Curriculum Changes for the B.S. Degree in Kinesiology
Rationale: The proposed curricular changes are directly aligned to the new undergraduate mission and the revised learning
outcomes (Appendix I). They also emphasize a curriculum for the 21 st century, improved research preparation and
improved educational content in physical activity courses.
Our proposal does not drastically alter our existing learning outcomes or curriculum. The Kinesiology curricular review
committee came to the conclusion that our existing curriculum is strong but can be improved with some small but
substantive changes.
This Fall2011 there are 911 students in the B.S. in Kinesiology. All proposed curricular changes will not have a negative
impact on:
a. Graduation rates. The committee does not anticipate that the proposed curricular changes will impact students'
graduation rates as there is no alteraltion in the total number of major required courses and credits (60 credits of
required KNES courses), and there is no alteration in course sequencing.
b. Faculty resources. All proposed cUiTicular changes can be accomplished without any additional hiring or impact on
current faculty workloads.
Our goal is to have these proposed curricular changes implemented for all incoming freshman and transfer students for the
Fall 2012 semester concurrently with the implementation of the General Education program.
Table 1 below includes current major requirements and proposed changes.

Specific requests for curriculum change:
1. Request to change MATH requirement/or all Kinesiology majors. We request that the following be the MATH
requirement for all Kinesiology majors:
Students admitted in the Kinesiology major must complete one ofthe following in order tofuljill the MATH
requirement
a. MATH1l2, MATH1l5. MATH220. MATH130 or MATH140 with a grade ofC- or better;
b. Fundamental MA TH course accepted by the University ofMaryland with a grade of c- or better if they
also have a MA TH placement ofMA TH140.
Rationale: All students at the Un iversity of Maryland are required to take a Fundamental Math (FM) course.
Effective spring 2008 tenn, all Kinesiology majors were required to complete MATHI12, MATHl15 or
placement in MATH 140 as a prerequisite of KNES300 - Biomechanics of Human Motion course (VPAC
#0728789A approved on 11/21/08).
The VPA C proposal approved in spring 2008 did not include the requirement ofa grade of C- or better in
MATHl12 or MATHl15.
The curricular review committee as well as faculty experts in Biomechanics strongly recommend that students
have a minimum ofC- grade in MATH in order to be well prepared to complete KNES300.
The committee has worked with the MATH department and determined that in order to be prepared for KNES300
students may complete one of the following MATH courses: MATHlI2, MATH I 15, MATH220, MATH 130 or
MATH 140 with a grade of C- or better.
2. Request to change Physical Activity Requirement. The committee requests the following changes in the physical
activity requirement:
a. Reduce the total required credits: from minimum of 8 credits to a minimum of 4 credits
b. Reduce the total required courses: from 6 different to 4 different courses
c. Removal of the 3 intermediate or advanced courses requirement
d. Request to add new required course: KNES201: Kinesiological Principles of Physical Activity (1 credit)
- VPI\C proposal to add KN ES201 is includcd ill I\ppcndix 2 (log no.: 12871291\).
Upon approval ofthis change, students admitted in the Kinesiology major must complete the following in order to
fuljill the Physical Activity requirement:
- 4 credits ofKNES physical activity courses with a grade ofC- or better
- 4 different skill activities courses with a grade ofC- or better
- 1 credit course: KNES201-Kinesiological Principles ofPhysical Activity with a grade ofC- or better
Rationale: The changes in the Phys.ical Activity requirement directly respond to following learning outcomes:
- Students will engage in a diversity of physical activities both within and outside their fonnal curriculum.
- Students will integrate their physical activity experiences with kinesiology sub-disciplinary knowledge.
The committee understands that the reduction of 4 credits is a significant alteration in the physical activity
requirement; however, we propose that the quality of these credits will be significantly improved.
Instead of completing 6 different skill courses and 3 courses at the intermediate/advanced level the committee
believes that, by completing 4 different skill activities courses and KNES201, students will be able to reflect on
their activity participation and integrate it within the various perspectives of the field's sub-disciplines (e.g.,
historical, cultural, biophysical).
Students will engage in physical activity while relating that experience back to their growing kinesiological
knowledge.
Note: Students who have completed KNES200-lntroduction to Kinesiology are not required to complete the
KNES201 course.

3. Request to add new required Foundations of Public Health course. The committee requests the following
course be added as a major requirem::nt to the curriculum:
a. Request to add new required course: KNES400: Foundations of Public Health in Kinesiology (3 credits)
- V PAC proposal to add KN ES·WO is included in Append ix 3 (log no.: 1287169A).
b. All students in the Kinesiology major must complete KNES400 course with a grade ofC- or better in the
senior year.
Rationale: The School of Public Health began the Council on Education for Public Health accreditation process
for the first time in Spring 2007. The: Council examined the School based on 27 criteria to establish our eligibility
for accreditation in October 2009. In June 2010, the School of Public Health was accredited for five years.
One of the CEPH accreditation criterion states that all academic degree programs, including the B.S. in
Kinesiology, must provide an education in the principles of public health to all majors.
All Kinesiology majors will be required to complete KNES400 with a grade ofC- or better in order to fulfill the
CEPH requirement.
4. Request to change title ofKNES497. KNES497 "Independent Studies Seminar" meets the new General
Education Scholarship in Practice requirement, and the capstone experience required for all programs under
CEPH accreditation.
The curriculum review committee re:commends a change in course name for KNES 497 to "Kinesiology Senior
Seminar" to better reflect its learning outcomes and place in the curriculum, its role in "scholarship in practice",
and its function as a "capstone" expt~rience.
VPAC proposal to change title or KNEScl97 is included in Append ix .+ (log no.: 1287149E).
We are certain that these curricular changes will ensure that we continue to deliver a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology
that contributes to the mission of our School of Public Health and attends to the needs of our students and our community.
Please contact me if you need additional information.
Sincerely,
~L ?Jj;IJ/

Addendum to PCC Request/or B.S. in Kinesiology Curriculum Change
A. Transition Statement
Current Kinesiology Majors: All curn~nt Kinesiology majors (N=911) will be able to complete their degree
requirements according to the Kinesiology curriculum at the time of their entry. No classes will be deleted and
there should be no obstacles to their degree completion, retention and graduation timeline.
Incoming new freshman and transfer students: We request that the curricular changes included in this
proposal be approved for implementation in conjunction with General Education this Fall 2012 for:
new freshmen
new transfer students from Maryland and non-Maryland public institutions
new transfer students from private schools
returning students who have been away from UMD for 5 plus years
The following curricular changes will not impact the newly admitted transfer students' time to completion of
degree, retention and graduation timeline:
a. Change on KNES physical activity requirement
The proposed changes in the required total number of courses and credits will not impact
prospective transfer students or transfer students admitted this Fall 2012. Students have to complete a
minimum of 4 different activity courses. Transfer students admitted this Fall who completed activity
courses at community colleges will have the courses accepted towards the degree. We plan to update
ARTSYS as soon as the curricular changes are approved.
In our experience, Kinesiology transfer students have not focused on taking activity courses prior
admission. Students have completed mostly the University Core requirement, BSCIl 05, BSCI201,
BSCI202, statistics and KNES core classes (e.g., KNES293, KNES287 and KNES350).
In sample data from our Kinesiology transfer students admitted in the Fall 11 semester (N=54),
48 students transferred between 25-60 credits. In this sample, 31 students did not transfer any activity
course, 11 transferred 1 activity course, 7 transferred 2 courses and only 2 transferred 3-4 courses. No
student, including those with more than 60 credits (N=3), transferred more than 4 activity courses.
Additional data can be provided upon request.
KNES201 will be offered beginning Spring 13 and we will plan the offerings based on the
amount of students admitted this Fall and an estimate of students entering in the Spring 13 semester.
b. Addition of KNES400
KNES400 must be completed at UMD and during senior year. Course is currently offered as
KNES498A. Students entering the major with senior status and who have completed KNES360
prerequisites will be able to register for the course.
The department is planning to increase number of seats beginning Spring 13.
Internal transfers: Beginning Spring 13, current UMD students who want to change their major into
Kinesiology will be required to complete the new proposed curriculum.
