Areas of Study

Kinesiology: Undergraduate

Our Kinesiology major leads to a Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.Ed.) degree. The undergraduate program is designed to provide you with a foundation in the sciences of human movement so you can pursue graduate work in such areas as adapted physical education, athletic training, cardiac rehabilitation, public health, physical therapy, and health and physical education. In addition to taking core requirements, you will have the opportunity to shape coursework based on career goals. You will also be able to  engage in hands-on experiences in clinical, athletic or school settings.

If you are a high school student, click on on the link to the left to learn more about the program of study.  Note that you must apply for admission through the University's Office of Undergraduate Admission.

If you are a current first- or second-year student at UVA, there are limited seats in the program for which you may apply.  Go to Curry's undergraduate admissions site for information regarding application deadlines and upcoming information sessions.

If you are a transfer student, click on the link in the box above for information about the kinesiology program.  Note that you must apply for admission through the University's Office of Undergraduate Admission.
