This document describes Kinesiology calendar changes for the year 2000/2001 calendar.
Under the Lower Division Requirements for Kinesiology Majors, the breadth requirement is changed as follows.
| Current | Proposed |
|---|---|
|
A minimum of six credit hours must be selected from one or more of the following departments: Business Administration, Communication, English, Philosophy, Psychology, Political Science, or Sociology and Anthropology. (6 credit hours) |
A minimum of six credit hours must be selected from the Faculty of Arts. (6 credit hours) |
Current Calendar states that a minimum of 6 credit hours must be selected from one or more of the following: Business Administration, Communications, English, Philosophy, Psychology, Political Science or Sociology and Anthropology. Students often ask for permission to count a History or Humanities or Archaeology course to satisfy this requirement. It is not clear what the rationale was for accepting some departments and not others. This calendar change simplifies things and also assures that students take some courses outside of applied sciences and science.
The standard upper division core courses are now specified for the PBD program, as reflected in the following changed calendar text.
| Current | Proposed |
|---|---|
RequirementsSuccessful completion of an approved program comprised of 30 credit hours of upper division or graduate level courses. A minimum grade point average of 2.5 is required for courses that are applied toward the diploma. Courses must be selected from an approved listing in consultation with a program advisor. Students whose first degrees did not include at least first year university math and science courses will be limited in their choice of courses to count toward the post baccalaureate diploma. |

Currently, a PBD requires 30 credit hours of upper division Kinesiology courses. Students can complete a PBD in Kinesiology without taking any of the core kinesiology courses. The School of Kinesiology feels that students with this PBD should have similar knowledge to our graduates.
The following text should be inserted in the Kinesiology calendar entry at the end of the Programs subsection.
Kinesiology students with an appropriate selection of courses can apply to the British Columbia College of Teachers (BCCT) to have their degree accepted for professional certification. BCCT will review each application on an individual basis. Please contact the School of Kinesiology for more information.
The credit hours for KIN 326-3 Functional Anatomy are increased by one (giving KIN 326-4).
The vector for KIN 326 is 2.0/0.0/4.0. Students attend 2 hours of lecture and 4 hours of labs.

The neurology section of KIN 306 that deals with muscle and motor control can be taught more quickly and at a better level if the students have already taken muscle mechanics in KIN 201.
Exposure to at least one course in basic metabolism or physiology better prepares students for the study of human energy metabolism at the fourth year level.
