The Division of Kinesiology and Health has three principle functions specific to undergraduate students: (1) to prepare students in kinesiology and health promotion or kinesiology and health promotion-athletic training for a variety of clinical and non-clinical settings; (2) to prepare students to teach physical and health education in schools K-12; and (3) to deliver the university wide Physical Activity and Your Health program to meet the University Studies Physical Activity and Health requirement. Students enrolled in these programs must meet academic standards as determined by the Division of Kinesiology and Health, College of Health Sciences, and the University of Wyoming.
For those students who excel academically, an honors program is available which includes an uncommitted block of 12 credit hours. Students may elect to pursue an area of specific interest by scheduling an honors semester within the university or at another cooperating institution.
A graduate program leading to a Master of Science degree in Kinesiology and Health is offered by the Division (see the Graduate Bulletin).
Program Admission
Students who meet University of Wyoming entry requirements are admitted to the university in one of the three undergraduate majors that leads to the Bachelor of Science degree. The Division’s undergraduate majors are open at the freshman level to all graduates of accredited high schools. Advanced placement for students with previous college credit is based on evaluation of transcripts of previous academic work. When students are ready to begin their junior year in one of the three undergraduate programs offered, they must make application for admission. The entry course for admission to the junior year of the Kinesiology and Health Promotion (K&HP) program and the Kinesiology and Health Promotion-Athletic Training (K&HP-AT) program is KIN 3021, Physiology of Exercise. The entry course for admission to the Physical Education Teacher Education (PHET) program is KIN 3012, Teaching Lab I. To be eligible, students must have completed all program course prerequisites and have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5. Admission to the three majors is a competitive process and applicants meeting minimum requirements are not guaranteed admission to the major. Application to the K&HP major must be received by the Division of Kinesiology and Health no later than April 15 for fall admission and no later than November 20 for spring admission.
Application to the K&HP-AT and PHET majors is conducted only in the fall. The application deadline for these two majors is April 15.
University Studies Program Physical Activity and Health Requirement
Effective with students entering UW in the fall of 1999, all undergraduate students, regardless of age, must successfully complete a course in Physical Activity and Health. The basis of this requirement is to help students gain an understanding of the impact physical activity or inactivity has on their health. Students gain the knowledge, skills, and experience which enable them to make informed decisions about their own health as it relates to their life and longevity. The course PEAC 1001, Physical Activity and Your Health, meets the University Studies Program Physical Activity and Health requirement.
Undergraduate Majors
The requirements to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in the majors offered by the Division of Kinesiology and Health are as follows:
I. Kinesiology and Health Promotion Major
There are two options within the Kinesiology and Health Promotion
major: (1) Kinesiology and Health Promotion-Athletic Training, and (2)
Kinesiology and Health Promotion.
