The Department of Kinesiology and Nutrition offers the Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology (athletic training, health promotion, pre-physical therapy, pre-occupational therapy, or sport and recreation management) and Nutrition (community nutrition, food service, nutrition-exercise science, or Didactic Program in Dietetics).

Introduction

The departmental mission is to prepare students to serve and lead through the development of healthy lifestyles. Students selecting Kinesiology (KINE) as their course of study will be preparing to work in health and wellness in a corporate, hospital, sport or recreational facility, or private setting; or they will prepare for future study in athletic training, physical therapy, or occupational therapy. Students selecting Nutrition (NUTR) as their course of study will be preparing to work as registered dietitians or nutritionists in various settings. Students who excel in these degrees are well-prepared for entry to graduate study in areas of human performance, wellness, and nutrition.

The nature of all these occupations requires professionals who enjoy working with people.

The coaching minor is designed to prepare more knowledgeable and competent coaches. Course work addresses the suggested competencies described in existing national coaching standards.

The nutrition minor affords students the opportunity to study nutrients and their physiological functions, normal nutrition requirements throughout the life cycle, nutrition requirements for physical activity, and socioeconomic influences on food choices. It also provides opportunities to learn how to assess adequacy of nutrition, how to develop nutrition education programs, and how to effectively educate populations.

The academic program is enhanced by access to facilities in the Royce and Pam Money Student Recreation and Wellness Center where the department is housed. These facilities serve as both a laboratory for majors and a recreation/fitness facility for the entire campus. There are two classrooms in the Center, both of which are “smart” classrooms, in addition to five classrooms in the Gibson Physical Education Center. The Human Performance Laboratory (HPL) is a resource for our majors to learn to analyze body composition, cardiovascular function, blood chemistry, respiratory function, muscular strength, and flexibility. These analyses are also available for faculty, staff, and students who wish to assess their personal health by using state-of-the-art technology, such as the DEXA and the Parvo metabolic measurement system. Computer assisted nutritional analysis, stress profiles and personal evaluations are also available in the HPL. The nutrition program has access to a fully equipped food science laboratory.

Recreational and fitness facilities include four gyms for court games; three racquetball courts; two group exercise areas; a large exercise area with strength training equipment, stair climbers, elliptical machines, and treadmills for aerobic workouts; a free-weight area; two indoor swimming pools; and men’s and women’s dressing rooms. Lighted tennis courts are adjacent to the center.

Undergraduate students at Abilene Christian University are required to take 2 semester hours of exercise science (a choice of PEAC 100 and one activity course or two activity courses). Kinesiology majors must take KINE 100 and KINE 206 , and a PEAC or PEACs as specified in the degree plans. Kinesiology transfers must take KINE 100 at ACU if they have not already completed a course that is determined to be enough like the one at ACU. Students seeking a medical exemption must do so through the chair of the Department of Kinesiology and Nutrition. Most often, students seeking an exemption are given adaptive or modified physical activities rather than an exemption.

The Department of Kinesiology and Nutrition provides a well-balanced activity program with an emphasis on health and wellness. Departmental objectives for each activity class include providing activity for recreation (enjoyment), fitness and stress release, while teaching knowledge and performance skills needed to maintain a healthful, enjoyable lifestyle in the future. Students are permitted to take up to three activity classes for elective credit above the university requirements.

A student may elect to take any physical education activity class, excluding PEAC 100 , on a Pass/Fail basis. Students must make this decision during the first two weeks of the fall and spring terms or the first two days of the summer term. During this time, the Pass/Fail form is available on the Registrar’s website at www.acu.edu/registrar. (Students should be aware that some graduate schools will not accept Pass/Fail grades and/or will automatically count them as a grade of “C.” Some schools will not transfer Pass/Fail grades.)

Study Abroad Expectations

All students are encouraged to participate in ACU’s Study Abroad program. Classes offered at Study Abroad sites vary depending on the site. Academic advisors can assist students in planning ahead for their Study Abroad experience and should be consulted during the freshman year. PEAC 216 is offered for credit at all 3 Study Abroad sites.

Bachelor of Science Degrees (BS)

Admission Requirements

Before being admitted to a program, a student must satisfy the requirements listed in the ACT/SAT Placement Information section of this catalog.

Kinesiology (BS)

This major is interdisciplinary by design with required courses, electives and laboratory experiences to prepare the student for entry into commercial fitness, hospital-based fitness, wellness or cardiac rehabilitation. Degree tracks are designed specifically for entrance into graduate programs in athletic training, physical therapy, occupational therapy, health promotion, and sport and recreation management. Within the Kinesiology major, students may currently choose six options:

Health Promotion (KNHP). Kinesiology professionals may choose to pursue careers in commercial, community, corporate, or clinical settings. They help individuals achieve fitness, nutrition, and/or wellness goals by analyzing needs and interests before planning individualized or group programs. Students and graduates may promote fitness/wellness among athletes, students, employees, the elderly, or other community members. Students will be given the opportunity to pursue certification as personal trainers and engage in specific career-related internships.

Kinesiology Generalist (KGEN). This degree track allows students the flexibility to obtain academic preparation inclusive of laboratory and practical experiences necessary to enter medical school or graduate programs in allied health, graduate exercise science, and associated fields. The natural flexibility furthermore serves to accommodate academic preparation for entrance into Occupational and Physical Therapy programs with the redundancy of degree offering being most vital for transfer students and students switching into KINE (or between KINE tracks) but with aspirations towards OT or PT rehabilitative work.

Pre-Athletic Training Integrated Program (KATP). This degree track offers an integrated program that combines 3 years of undergraduate coursework with 2 years of graduate coursework through the Master of Athletic Training (MAT) degree, allowing students to achieve both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in 5 years. This integrated program provides comprehensive coursework, hands-on laboratory classes, and diverse clinical experience all while reinforcing Christ-centered values. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required for acceptance into and for remaining in the KATP degree track.

NOTE: The MAT program provides 55 hours of graduate coursework and will qualify graduates to sit for the state of Texas Athletic Training Licensure Exam. The program will see national accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Once accredited, graduates will be eligible to sit for the BOC (national Board of Certification) exam.

The first three years are “pre-professional” and are designed for undergraduate students. In this program, the student will earn a BS in Kinesiology with the KATP concentration, as well as complete the prerequisites for the MAT program. After acceptance in the “professional” phase of the program, the student will begin graduate level classes during the summer prior to their fourth year. ACU will award the bachelor’s degree to qualified students who have satisfactorily completed three years of prescribed work in Kinesiology at ACU plus one year in the Master of Athletic Training program (summer, fall, and spring semesters) for a total of 134 hours. The master’s degree will be awarded upon successful completion of the fifth year.

Pre-Physical Therapy (KNPT). Students who wish to pursue professional graduate programs in Physical Therapy must complete all of the pre-requisites for entry into those programs in addition to key Kinesiology courses designed to enhance the chances of success in graduate school. A minimum GPA of 3.2 is required for acceptance into and for remaining in the KNPT degree track.

Pre-Occupational Therapy (KNOT). Students who wish to pursue professional graduate programs in Occupational Therapy must complete all of the pre-requisites for entry into those programs in addition to key Kinesiology courses designed to enhance the chances of success in graduate school. A minimum GPA of 3.2 is required for acceptance into and for remaining in the KNOT degree track.

Sport and Recreation Management (KSRM). Students who desire careers in recreation settings such as camps, YMCA, YWCA, city recreation programs, or similar settings; or those who wish to work in intramural administration or athletic administration, may wish to seek the KSRM degree. The track allows for a number of electives that may be used to focus on a specific career goal. A minimum GPA of 2.5 is required for acceptance into and for remaining in the KSRM degree track.

Nutrition (BS)

The Bachelor of Science in Nutrition prepares students to serve and lead others through living and teaching healthful nutrition practices and wellness lifestyles. Christian values and ethics are encouraged in any area of nutrition the student chooses. Students may declare Nutrition as a major with a concentration in Exercise Science, Community, Food Service, or the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD). Entry into the DPD requires a formal application process as described below. The Didactic Program in Dietetics is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND, a division of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics). ACEND’s address and phone number are: 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, IL 60606-6995, 800-877-1600 ext. 5400. Below are details concerning the concentrations in Nutrition.

Didactic Program in Dietetics concentration (NDPD). A cumulative GPA of 2.8 is required for entrance into and for remaining in the DPD.
- Students who are eligible to apply to Dietetic Internships
  - Students applying to Dietetic Internships are required to have a cumulative GPA of 3.2 upon graduation. Verification Statements will be presented to these students immediately after graduation. Those who have a cumulative 3.2 GPA are prepared to enter Dietetic Internships, after which they may sit for the Registration Examination for Dietitians. The DPD Director monitors GPAs and provides Verification Statements.
- Students who can apply to take the Registration Examination for Dietetic Technicians
  - Students who graduate with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.8 and less than 3.2 may apply to take the Dietetic Technician Registered examination.

Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN) and Dietetic Technicians Registered may find employment in healthcare facilities, community and public health nutrition programs, other government entities, private practice (if RDN), school nutrition programs, sports nutrition and corporate wellness programs, education, research, sales, marketing, restaurant management, and food companies.

Exercise Science concentration (NUEX). An increased emphasis is placed on health promotion in our society today. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans by the Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommend 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity activity on most days. Other national organizations have similar recommendations. Nutrition for exercise and sport is extremely important for individuals to stay healthy before, during, and after exercise. Graduates with the Exercise Science concentration are trained to counsel individuals concerning proper nutrition practices in wellness centers or other exercise-related settings such as gyms or sport facilities. They also receive baseline preparation for personal training.
Community concentration (NUCO). Nutrition professionals are in demand to educate the public in various settings. Graduates of the Community concentration are trained to effectively communicate nutrition messages to individuals and the public. They may find employment with AgriLife Extension, school nutrition programs, supermarkets, or in public health/government nutrition programs such as the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children.
Food Service concentration (NUFS). The food service industry affects virtually every person living in the U.S., and employment opportunities are expected to increase. Graduates of the Food Service concentration are trained in food management, food marketing principles, and food safety. They may find employment in school nutrition programs, food service facilities or restaurants as managers, or health departments as food inspectors.

Introduction

The Master of Athletic Training (MAT) program provides comprehensive coursework and clinical experience for students who seek knowledge in the field of athletic training. The program will provide the students with classroom academic coursework, hands-on laboratory classes, and diverse clinical experiences all while reinforcing Christ-centered values.

Experiential learning is an integral part of our Master in Athletic Training program. Students will be required to complete a clinical experience class every semester. Additionally, they will have at least one immersion experience that will last at least four weeks during which students will work alongside an athletic trainer learning all aspects of the profession. This ensures that our graduates will have adequate real-world and hands-on experience as athletic trainers so they are proficient on the first day of their jobs.

Another emphasis in this MAT program is research and contribution to the profession of Athletic Training. As a non-thesis program, students will be required to complete research projects and submit abstracts for presentation at a regional or national conference, or submit an article for publication. All research projects are overseen by a faculty member.

The demand for athletic trainers across all practice settings is increasing, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that the athletic training profession will grow 21% by 2022. There is tremendous opportunity for job growth in the secondary school setting as NATA advocates for the gold standard of at least one full time athletic trainer in each secondary school. As parents, athletes, coaches, and school administrators become more aware of the long-term effects of concussion and injury, the importance of youth sports safety and the effectiveness of athletic trainers in prevention and rehabilitation, more schools are demanding full time athletic trainers to keep student athletes safe.

The Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) has mandated that all Athletic Training Education programs provide master entry-level degrees to graduates by 2022. In response to this mandate, ACU will be one of the few AT programs to offer a Master of Athletic Training program in 2018.

ACU is currently seeking accreditation for their new Athletic Training program and is not accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). The institution will be submitting a self-study as part of the accreditation process on July 1, 2019. Submission of the self-study and completion of a site visit does not guarantee that the program will become accredited. Students that graduate from the program prior to accreditation will not be eligible to sit for the credentialing examination for athletic trainers and will not be eligible for licensure in most states.

NOTE: The program provides 55 hours of graduate coursework and will qualify graduates to sit for the State of Texas Athletic Training Licensure exam. The program will seek national accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). After CAATE accreditation is earned, graduates will be eligible to sit for the National Athletic Trainers’ Association Board of Certification (BOC) exam.
