Special Opportunities
At the department level students may participate in the Kinesiology Club. Students are also encouraged to join the Indiana Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (IAHPERD). Through this professional organization as well as the Department of Kinesiology, students may compete for scholarships and professional recognition.
Careers
Graduates with this degree are prepared to become teachers in school-based (grades K-12) physical education programs and coaches in interscholastic sport programs.
Degree Program
As time passes, improvements and changes are made by faculty to academic programs. Students are subject to the set of degree requirements in place during the first term in which the student is enrolled in a degree program on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University. This set of requirements is what shows up on a student’s online academic advisement report. However, students may elect to move to any newer set of requirements. Students wishing to do this must contact the School of HPER Records Office to request the change. Students are responsible for knowing the requirements for their degree(s). For assistance with degree requirements, see your departmental advisor. Below are links to sets of degree requirements. Please pay attention to effective date ranges to determine which link to open to see your requirements.
