Kinesiology major with a Health & Fitness Concentration (B.S.)

Flexibility is the greatest strength of the Bachelor of Science degree with a kinesiology major and a health and fitness concentration. While preparing students with the theoretical and practical competencies necessary for the health and fitness field, there is the flexibility of 20 elective hours. These hours may be used for graduate school pre-requisites (P.T., O.T., P.A.), business courses in preparation for entrepreneurship, or areas of special interest (i.e. languages, a UNG minor, or military science.)

Important

Before admission into the BS in Kinesiology with Health & Fitness Concentration, students must declare the “General Studies (Health & Fitness)” concentration/major.  Once admitted, student’s concentration/major will change to “Kinesiology/Health & Fitness”.
