Culminating Experience

The first time the student registers for KINS 500, he/she must also register for KINS 211. During this semester, the student develops his/her proposal with assistance from others in the seminar, the seminar professor and the student's committee. When the proposal is completed, formal written and oral presentations are made to the seminar with the student's committee in attendance. If the student does not complete the proposal and have it approved, he/she must enroll and attend KINS 211 another semester.

Note:Six semester units of graduate work taken at other accredited institutions may be approved by the Graduate Coordinator. Student teaching, extension courses, undergraduate fieldwork, and 300-numbered methods or workshop courses may not be applied to the MS program requirements. Prerequisite units, units taken for undergraduate majors/minors and units taken to qualify for fully classified graduate status will not be counted for graduate credit. Rarely are undergraduate Kinesiology courses approved for graduate credit. A maximum of six elective units may be taken in upper division undergraduate courses with advisor approval. A maximum of four units of graduate Practicum or Directed Individual Study may be taken for degree credit with advisor approval.
