B.S. Kinesiology, Generalist and M.Ed. Coaching, Sport, Recreation, and Fitness Administration Degree Plan

Five-year (4+1) 150 semester hours

Students interested in the Integrated B.S./ M.Ed. in Kinesiology-Generalist/CSRF will be required to complete a minimum of 150 semester credit hours of degree credit. Of this total, 120 semester credit hours will be at the undergraduate level and 30 semester credit hours will be at the graduate level.

Candidates for this program must meet the current admission requirements for the M.Ed. CSRF program and be unconditionally admitted before taking any graduate M.Ed. courses. The student must achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.50 for undergraduate and a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or better in graduate courses.

A unique feature of the integrated program is that the student will begin taking graduate coursework in the senior year. Upon successful completion of all 150 semester credit hours of this integrated program, the student will be awarded both the B.S. in Kinesiology-Generalist and the M.Ed. CSRF degree at the same time; the student will not receive the B.S Kinesiology-Generalist after completing 120 semester credit hours at the undergraduate level.

Should a student decide not to complete the M.Ed. CSRF portion of the integrated program, then this student would have to complete any remaining degree requirements for the B.S. in Kinesiology-Generalist in order to be awarded that degree. Because of the 4+1 structure of the integrated program, all the undergraduate courses already completed as part of the integrated program would count towards completion of the B.S. in Kinesiology-Generalist degree.
