Kinesiology

http://www.kin.hs.iastate.edu

Mission

We promote health and well-being by creating and disseminating knowledge about physical activity and active living. Through discovery, learning and engagement we improve the lives of citizens of Iowa, the United States and the world.

Goals

The department has identified the following goals to support this mission:

We seek to improve the lives of citizens of Iowa, the United States, and the world by the creation and dissemination of knowledge about physical activity and its relationship to health and well-being.
We prepare scholars and professionals in the study of physical activity at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
We educate the public and the University community in the scientific aspects of physical activity especially exercise, sport, and the role of movement throughout the lifespan.

Undergraduate Study

Kinesiology & Health

The undergraduate curriculum in Kinesiology and Health is comprised of three components: general education, required departmental courses and the option component courses. The intent of the general education component is to promote intellectual and personal growth and to prepare students for success in the basic, advanced and option components.

Required courses provide an introduction to the field and fundamental principles of physical activity, fitness, health and disease. Coursework within each specialization option builds upon personal and scholarly learning by enabling students to master content and skills specific to career applications. Options comprise a focused area of study within Kinesiology. Options available are:

Athletic Training
Community and Public Health
Exercise Science
Pre-Health Professions
Physical Education/Teacher Education

Enrollment in the Athletic Training and Physical Education Teacher Education options is limited because of accreditation requirements and the provision of more individualized field experiences.

Academic options within the undergraduate program

Students in the CAATE accredited Athletic Training option are prepared for the Board of Certification examination or for graduate work in athletic training. Graduates of this option will effectively use their expertise to plan strategies aimed at the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries.

Students in the Community and Public Health option are prepared for professional employment at local, state or national health agencies, medical centers, and other public organizations that seek to promote health in the population. The curriculum prepares students to take the Certified Health Education Specialist certification examination upon graduation.

Students in the Pre-Health Professions option utilize an interdisciplinary approach to the study of human movement. In so doing, they become prepared for graduate study in Kinesiology or advanced study leading to careers in medicine, physical therapy, or other allied health programs.

Students in the Exercise Science option are prepared for professional roles as health and fitness leaders or program managers. Employment opportunities include work in corporate fitness programs, health clubs, cardiac rehabilitation programs or personal training. Graduates are able to plan, implement and supervise exercise programs which will improve fitness and health. Graduates also have a basic understanding of economic and management issues related to business applications in the health and fitness field.

Students in the Physical Education Teacher Education option are prepared to teach Physical Education in grades K-12 and to meet the State of Iowa learning outcomes for teachers. Graduates can plan developmentally appropriate physical education, and individualize instruction and assessment for diverse audiences.

Learning outcomes for the undergraduate degree

Despite the diversity of options, the Learning Outcomes comprise a common framework for each student as they matriculate through Iowa State University.

The learning outcomes emphasized in academic coursework in the Department of Kinesiology are:

Communication

Uses clear and effective written, oral, visual, and electronic (WOVE) communication techniques to foster inquiry, collaboration, and engagement in physical activity and health related settings.

Lifelong learning, Assessment, and Self-Reflection

Analyzes and evaluates one's own knowledge, abilities and actions relative to professional standards, seeks opportunities to grow professionally, and utilizes self-assessment and assessment of others to foster physical, cognitive, social, and emotional well-being.

Content knowledge, discovery, and critical thinking

Understands fundamental concepts of physical activity and health, conducts scientific inquiry, and applies critical thinking to solve problems from personal, scholarly, and professional perspectives.

Ethics, Diversity, and social justice

Demonstrates leadership and social responsibility to improve quality of life for others and ensures equitable access for diverse groups by creating appropriate environments to initiate and maintain a physically active, healthy lifestyle.

Other Program Offerings:

Endorsement to Coach Interscholastic Athletics

The State Department of Education has provided for the endorsement of licensed teachers for the coaching of athletic teams in schools. The endorsement does not lead to licensure to teach physical education. For requirements of the program, leading to the coaching endorsement, see Teacher Education, Requirements for Areas of Specialization.

Endorsement to teach health education

Those interested in teaching Health Education in the public schools may get a primary endorsement or an additional endorsement. The State Department of Education has approved the Health Teaching Licensure for grades 5-12.

Basic Activity Instruction Program

The department offers a wide selection of beginning, intermediate, and advanced courses in the areas of aquatics, dance, and sports. These courses are designed to serve general education purposes for all students.

B.S./M.S. degree in Diet and Exercise

A combined Bachelor of Science and Master of Science (B.S./M.S.) degree in diet and exercise is available. The program is jointly administered by the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition (FS HN), within the Colleges of Agriculture and Human Sciences, and the Department of Kinesiology, within the College of Human Sciences. Students interested in this program must enroll as freshmen in the pre-diet and exercise program In the fall of the junior year students will apply for admission to the B.S./M.S. program. Students not accepted into the program will continue toward completion of a B.S. degree in dietetics or kinesiology. Coursework has been designed to facilitate a 4-year graduation date for those students not accepted into the program and electing to complete a single undergraduate degree. Students accepted into the program will progress toward completion of B.S./M.S. degrees in diet and exercise.

Dance

Coursework in dance provides opportunities for students to develop an understanding and appreciation of dance as part of a liberal education. Those interested in teaching dance and Physical Education in the public schools may major in Kinesiology and Health (teacher licensure option) and minor in dance.

An interdisciplinary Performing Arts major with a dance emphasis is available through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. For further information see Index, Theatre and Performing Arts.

Graduate Study

The Department of Kinesiology graduate seeks to integrate discovery and learning by preparing graduate students to understand and create basic and applied knowledge in the study of physical activity, exercise and sport. The normal prerequisite to major graduate work is the satisfactory completion of a curriculum essentially equivalent to that required of undergraduate students in kinesiology at this university. However, it is possible for students to qualify for graduate study if undergraduate preparation has been in a related area.

Students in the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are required to complete original research and write a thesis or dissertation. There is a non-thesis degree option for M.S. students requiring more coursework and an internship experience or other creative component. Specific information about the requirements for these degree options is available from the department office or from the department web site (www.kin.hs.iastate.edu/graduate ).

The department participates in the interdepartmental minor in gerontology (see Index).

Curriculum in Kinesiology and Health

The curriculum in Kinesiology and Health is designed for students preparing to enter professional areas related to the health, exercise or sport science fields. Students majoring in Kinesiology & Health may select one of five options:

Athletic Training
Community and Public Health
Exercise Science
Pre-Health Professions
Physical Education Teacher Education

Minors in dance, athletic coaching, exercise science, health promotion, kinesiology, and sport and recreation are available; see requirements under Kinesiology, Courses and Programs.
