DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND KINESIOLOGY
The Department of Health and Kinesiology offers Bachelor of Science degrees
for students majoring in Health and Kinesiology. The Department also offers
a minor in Nonprofit Management.
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Health will select an emphasis
area in community health, school health, or health and fitness. The community
health emphasis prepares students for health careers in public, private,
and voluntary health agencies. Students interested in teaching health
in grades 8-12 must seek teacher certification as required by the State
Board for Educator Certification. The health and fitness emphasis prepares
students for careers in health and fitness programming in corporate, commercial,
and public settings. All health emphases require both academic coursework
and practical experience via a practicum and an internship. Students interested
in pursuing a major or minor in Health are required to consult with the
College of Education and Human Development Advising and Certification
Center. Top
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology will select
an emphasis in either teacher preparation or kinesiology. The teacher
preparation emphasis provides proper academic and professional experience
as required by the State Board for Educator Certification for PreK-12
Physical Education. To be certified as a teacher by the State of Texas,
a student must complete their coursework, have practical teaching experience
(student teaching), and pass the TExES examination. Students with an emphasis
in kinesiology will select a specialization area of Sport Psychology,
Fitness and Sport Management, Sport Performance, or Clinical Exercise
and Athletic Training. The application coursework for the specialization
areas will be determined by the College of Education and Human Development
Advising and Certification Center. The kinesiology emphasis requires both
academic coursework and practical experience via the internship. Top
Students from any discipline may select a minor in Nonprofit Management
(American Humanics). American Humanics is a national organization devoted
to preparing students for careers in youth, environmental, medical, arts,
and other nonprofit organizations. Upon successful completion of this
minor, the student will receive national certification from American Humanics
in nonprofit management and leadership, in addition to the chosen undergraduate
major.
The Department of Health and Kinesiology awards
Department Honors to certain outstanding students and provides the opportunity
for advanced study under close faculty supervision.
Selection of honors designation is based on the student's academic performance
and recommendation by the faculty of the student's major discipline. To
be eligible for the program, students must have a minimum overall grade
point average of 3.0 at UTSA and a minimum grade point average of 3.5
in their major at UTSA. The minimum grade point averages must be maintained
for students to receive the approval of the Department Honors Committee
and the discipline faculty. Students applying for Department Honors are
expected to enroll in the appropriate honors thesis course during their
final two semesters. The completed thesis must be approved by the supervising
faculty sponsor and another departmental faculty member. Students interested
in this program should contact their professors for additional information.
