: Bachelor's degree : Kinesiology, BS NUKINBS : Full time : 48 MonthRequirements
Academic requirements
First-year students must:
- Have a 3.00 grade point average (GPA) (a "B" or better where "A"=4.00) from a secondary school. Some ASU programs may have higher admission or English proficiency requirements and may consider a minimum ACT or SAT score.
- Must have three years of high school coursework. (If you are currently in high school, ASU needs to see 9–11 grade coursework. If you have completed high school, ASU needs to see 10–12 grade coursework.)
- Must have and present a completed high school diploma or certificate.
Conditional admission
ASU may offer conditional undergraduate admission to international applicants to an on-campus program who meet the academic (aptitude) requirements but who are not proficient in English. This offer of conditional admission will give you time to improve your English proficiency before you start classes at ASU. Your conditional admission offer is good for up to three semesters, during which time you must meet one of these requirements to begin your ASU experience.
Competency requirements
International students who completed high school outside the U.S. are required to meet the following competency requirements:
- Math: four years (algebra I, geometry, algebra II and one course requiring algebra II as a prerequisite).
- Laboratory science: three years total (one year each from any of the following areas are accepted: biology, chemistry, earth science, integrated sciences and physics).
Provide evidence of English language proficiency (TOEFL 61)
Speciality
This program may be eligible for an Optional Practical Training extension for up to 24 months. This OPT work authorization period may help international students gain skills and experience in the U.S. Those interested in an OPT extension should review ASU degrees that qualify for the STEM-OPT extension at ASU's International Students and Scholars Center website.
The OPT extension only applies to students on an F-1 visa and does not apply to students completing a degree through ASU Online.
Additional information
Program description
The BS in kinesiology program provides students with a deep understanding of how the human body works.
The rigorous curriculum provides a scientifically inclusive approach to human movement, including the study of mechanical, anatomical, neural, developmental, physiological and psychological mechanisms. Students acquire a well-rounded understanding of all aspects of human function as it pertains to movement and exercise.
Students have opportunities to work one-on-one with faculty on research projects, in labs, as teaching assistants or on other independent study experiences.
Concurrent program options
Students pursuing concurrent degrees (also known as a “double major”) earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. Working with their academic advisors, students can create their own concurrent degree combination. Some combinations are not possible due to high levels of overlap in curriculum.
Accelerated program options
This program allows students to obtain both a bachelor's and master's degree in as little as five years. It is offered as an accelerated bachelor's plus master's degree with:
- Clinical Exercise Physiology, MS
Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program.
Global opportunities
Global experience
Professional health education is competitive. Fewer than 50% of the students who apply to medical schools are admitted, and there are four applicants for every seat in physician assistant programs. Medical and professional school admissions increasingly focus on students with dedication to community service, so engaging in community activities and research abroad will help any student who plans a career in a health field to create a diverse, accomplished portfolio.
With more than 300 Global Education program opportunities available to them, kinesiology students have the chance to experience unique health environments, practice alternative approaches to health care, and witness the human condition in a global context. Opportunities also exist for hands-on research and community-based service, which can prepare students to lead in a future-focused career. Kinesiology students gain cultural competency, language skills and vital leadership experience while studying abroad.
An undergraduate degree in kinesiology prepares students for graduate study that can lead to a variety of clinical and research occupations, including:
- allopathic, osteopathic or naturopathic physician
- athletic trainer
- biomechanist
- chiropractor
- clinical exercise physiologist
- occupational therapist
- orthopedic surgeon
- physical therapist
- physician assistant
- prosthetist or orthotist
