Expanded Field and/or Research Practicum in Kinesiology

Catalog description

KINES 495D Expanded Field and/or Research Practicum in Kinesiology (1-6) This course, in combination with KINES 495B , places students in the workplaces or research settings with the expectation that these experiences will allow them the opportunity to apply and integrate content from all their courses in the program. They will be placed at a variety of sites, including but not limited to research laboratories, professional fitness centers, rehabilitation facilities, senior centers, community health and wellness programs, and hospitals. They will learn the day-to-day requirements of being 'on the job' or 'in the lab,' including professional management practices and ethical considerations. Practicum work will be evaluated on an ongoing basis with the student intern, work place supervisor, and faculty member involved in the process. The course will take place off campus at work sites and no special on-campus facilities are required. It will be offered annually as the last course in the major.
