Bachelor of Arts
Bachelor of Science

The Kinesiology Department provides distinctive learning in the art and science of human movement. The comprehensive curriculum is based on philosophical foundations, experiential learning, and scientific principles that in combination prepare students for careers and/or graduate programs in education, athletic training and allied health care professions such as physical therapy, physician's assistant, medicine, occupational therapy,
and related fields. The department offers the bachelor of arts degree with two emphases: Athletic Training and Physical Education. The department offers the bachelor of science degree with two emphases: Biokinesiology and Exercise Physiology. Graduation with departmental honors will be considered if a student has maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.5 and has completed an independent project which culminates in a presentation to faculty and peers. The independent project must receive prior approval by the kinesiology faculty as being of honor's quality. All students within the Department of Kinesiology must complete a common core of courses. To fulfill these core requirements, a grade of at least a C must be earned and the course must be completed at Chapman University.

Bachelor of Arts Emphasis in Athletic Training

Effective Fall 2001, this emphasis is no longer available. It is replaced by a bachelor of arts in Athletic Training. The requirements remain as listed below. This emphasis prepares students for careers as athletic trainers at all levels of public, private and/ or professional sports programs. The Athletic Training curriculum is designed so that upon its completion a student has met the course work, competencies, and clinical hours required to sit for the national certification examination administered by the National Athletic Trainers Association Board of Certification. Students with an emphasis in Athletic Training are required to maintain current CPR and standard First Aid certifications. Students are required to
attend monthly workshops and seminars covering topics relevant to Athletic Training. Students are required to attend monthly student athletic training meetings. Refer to the ATEP Handbook for all technical standards.
