2. Students seeking teacher certification must adhere to current state requirements, even if they differ from the
degree requirements described in this catalog.
3. Except as otherwise indicated, credit by examination is treated like any other earned credit in meeting
degree requirements.
4. With the exception of credit earned by examination, each course counted toward the degree or toward
certification requirements must be taken on the letter-grade basis, unless the course is offered only on the
pass/fail basis.
5. To graduate, all students must have a University grade point average of at least 2.00.

Physical activity (PED) courses are offered by the Department of Kinesiology and Health Education. Although
physical instruction is not a degree requirement in the College of Education, students are encouraged to take
physical activity courses, particularly in activities that can be pursued throughout a lifetime. Up to three
semester hours of physical activity coursework may be counted as electives toward any College of Education
degree. All physical activity courses are counted among courses for which the student is enrolled, and the
grades are included in the grade point average.
ROT C COURSES
A maximum of nine twelve semester hours of credit in air force science, military science, or naval science may
be used as free electives in any degree plan of the College of Education.

EXTENSION COURSES
Credit that a University student in residence earns simultaneously by correspondence or extension from the
University or elsewhere or in residence at another school will not be counted toward a degree in the College of
Education unless specifically approved in advance by the dean. In the semester they plan to graduate, students
may not take any course to be counted toward the degree at another institution or by correspondence through
University extension; students who plan to graduate at the end of the summer session may request approval to
take transfer work only in the first summer term.

The curriculum for the degree has four components: (a) the University-wide core curriculum; (b) prescribed
work for the BSALD; (c) major requirements; and (d) electives. Students choose one of three majors: early
childhood through grade six generalist, which can lead to early childhood through grade six ESL generalist
certification or early childhood through grade six bilingual generalist certification; all-level generic special
education, which can lead to all-level generic special education certification; or youth and community studies,
which does not lead to teacher certification.
The youth and community studies major requires 120 hours of coursework; the early childhood through
grade six ESL generalist major requires 124 hours of coursework; the early childhood through grade six
generalist major with bilingual generalist certification requires 125 hours of coursework; and the all-level
generic special education major requires 127 hours of coursework. Students in all majors must complete at least
36 hours of upper-division coursework.

CORE CURRI CULUM
All students must complete the University’s core curriculum, described in chapter 2. In some cases, a course
that is required for the BSALD may also be counted toward the core curriculum; these courses are identified
below.
P RESCRIBED W ORK AND FLAG REQUIREMENT S
In the process of fulfilling the core curriculum and other degree requirements, students pursuing the Bachelor of
Science in Applied Learning and Development must complete courses that carry flags in the following areas.
Courses used to fulfill flag requirements may also be used to fulfill other requirements.
1. Two courses that carry a writing flag.
2. One course that carries a global cultures flag.
3. One course that carries a cultural diversity in the United States flag.
4. One course that carries a quantitative reasoning flag.
All students must complete the following requirements. The youth and community studies major requires
modifications to the prescribed work; these are described in the section for the major below.
1. Two courses with a substantial writing component or a writing flag. Courses that meet this requirement are
identified in the Course Schedule.

2.3. Psychology 301. This course may also be used to fulfill the social and behavioral sciences requirement of
the core curriculum.
3.4. Natural Sciences 306J, 306K, and 306L. These courses may also be used to fulfill parts I and II of the
science and technology requirement of the core curriculum. In addition, students must complete NSC 306M
a three-semester-hour natural science or computer science course.
4.5. Mathematics 316K and 316L.
5.6. Foreign language: Students must demonstrate proficiency in a single foreign language equivalent to that
shown by completion of the second college semester in the language; proficiency is usually shown by

Although the foreign language requirement is the attainment of a certain proficiency, rather than the
completion of a specified number of hours, the courses taken to gain this proficiency are not electives and
may not be taken on the pass/fail basis. Any part of the requirement may be fulfilled by credit by
examination.
Students who completed two years of a single foreign language in high school and who are not pursuing
teacher certification may substitute nine semester hours in specific multicultural and

The field of kinesiology consists of biomechanical, physiological, psychological, managerial, epidemiological,
rehabilitative, and socio-cultural, and pedagogical approaches to the study of human movement and personal
and public health. The Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Health degree program offers five majors:
exercise science, physical culture and sports, health promotion, sport management, and applied movement
science.
The applied movement science program is designed for students interested in studying human movement as a
background for teacher certification in physical education; students who have completed the program may be
entitled to teach in prekindergarten through grade twelve helping others develop motor skills, physically active
lifestyles, and fitness. Students who successfully complete the program can be recommended for teacher
certification in physical education. The exercise science program is appropriate preparation for further study in sport
and exercise sciences or in movement-related areas such as physical therapy and sport medicine. The health
promotion major is designed to prepare graduates for a number of professions involving wellness, fitness,
rehabilitation, public health, and disease prevention. The sport management major is designed for students who are
interested in the organization, marketing, and management of sports programs. The physical culture and sports
major is designed to prepare students for graduate school and/or careers related to a social science approach to sport
and exercise.
The curriculum for the degree has four components: (a) the University-wide core curriculum; (b) prescribed
work for the BSKin&Health; (c) major requirements, which include a minor or specialization; and (d) electives.
More information, including a list of specializations and minors, is available from the College of Education
Student Dean’s Office, George I. Sánchez Building 216, and the Kinesiology Advising Center, Bellmont Hall
1005.
A total of at least 126 semester hours of coursework is required for the BSKin&Health with a major in
applied movement science; the other majors require at least 120 hours of coursework. For all majors, at least
thirty-six hours must be in upper-division coursework.
