General Physical Education Program of Study
The general program of study is designed to provide students with an opportunity to build a program of
study that suits their particular area of interest and/or combines several sport science areas of interest. The
general program of study would be of particular interest to students wishing to develop a broader based
understanding of kinesiology and physical education. In consultation with an advisor, the student selects
either a thesis or non-thesis option.
The student must successfully complete a minimum of 21 semester hours of graduate credit in the
department. Nine semester hours of graduate credit in courses related to the
student’s degree objectives may be taken outside the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education.
In consultation with the adviser, students will select a minimum of 9 semester hours in one of the following
areas of interest: curriculum/instruction, sport biomechanics, coaching, dance education, motor
learning/motor development, or sociocultural aspects of sport/physical education.or psychology of sport
and exercise. One course may be used to satisfy more than one program requirement; in this case, the
number of elective hours will be increased.
