  1. Mandatory Advisement Group (MAG) Session Kinesiology Options: Exercise Science Applied Fitness & Active Lifestyle Development Advisors: Sean Flanagan, Kim Henige, Vicky Jaque, Steven Loy, Jennifer Romack, Dino Vrongistinos, & Ben Yaspelkis

  2. Your Kinesiology Advisor • Advisor assignment: Kinesiology office, RE 250 • Provides academic advice throughout the semester • Helps you complete the Graduation Evaluation • Mentoring can be sought from any Kinesiology faculty member

  3. Avoid Learned Helplessness • Where do you find answers to most of your questions? In the CSUN University catalog! • View CSUN catalog online at http://www.csun.edu/catalog/

  4. Academic Planning • Degree Progress Report (DPR) Info http://www.csun.edu/anr/degreeprogress/dpr.html • How to Interpret Your DPR http://www.csun.edu/anr/soc/guides/InterpretDPRMAP.html • 4-Year & Transfer Plans http://www.csun.edu/anr/plans/2009/4year/index.html

  5. Registration Appointment • Registration appointment date/time is viewable through SOLAR • Hard Holds • MAG attendance releases department hold • check SOLAR to see if you have holds from any other agencies

  6. How do the two options differ? • Exercise Science: pre-health and preparation for graduate school • Applied Fitness: preparation for fitness-related careers • No chemistry, trigonometry/geometry, physics • 2 psychology courses and 1 nutrition course • Some different kinesiology UD requirements and electives • Declare/change option: turn into Kinesiology Office, RE 250 http://www.csun.edu/anr/forms/chngmajor.pdf

  7. General Education (GE) • Kinesiology courses do not count in GE (except for KIN 306) • Look for courses that satisfy more than one GE requirement • CC Transfer Students • CSU GE-Breadth Certification could save units • www.assist.org • Upper Division GE Requirement (UDGE = 9 units) • Take UDGE courses after completing 60 units • Required for transfer students (even if CSU GE-Breadth Certified) • Reserve 9 units of LDGE for double counting of courses common to both LDGE and UDGE sections

  8. GE (continued) • Section A, Basic Subjects • Math 140 (required by all Kinesiology options) • Exercise Science: MATH 102 or 105 or 255A also satisfies this section of GE • Section B, Natural Sciences • BIO 101/L (required by all Kinesiology options) • Exercise Science: PHYS 100A/L and CHEM 101/L or CHEM 103/L satisfies this section of GE

  9. GE (continued) • Section D, Social Sciences • KIN 306 (satisfies this section for all Kinesiology options; does not count for UDGE) • Applied Fitness: PSY 150 -> PSY 352 (also UDGE) • Section E, Lifelong Learning • Applied Fitness: FCS 207, HSCI 337 (also UDGE) • Information Competence (IC) • Applied Fitness: FCS 207, PSY 352 (also UDGE)

  10. Upper Division Writing Requirement • Take after 56 units and before 75 • http://www.csun.edu/testing/ • can retake once • If you wait too long (semester 75 units completed) • Hard Hold on registration • http://www.csun.edu/anr/forms/udwpe_appeal.pdf

  11. Exercise Science: additional requirements • Math and Physics • MATH 102: need ELM, ELM exempt, or MATH 093 • MATH 104 or 105: need MPT or MATH 102 (C or better) • PHYS 100A/L: need MPT orMATH 104 or 105 • KIN 445: need MATH 104 or 105 • Chemistry • CHEM 101/L: need CPT or CHEM 100 (C or better at CSUN) or • CHEM 103/L: need ELM, ELM exempt

  12. Curriculum Changes • KIN 377 replaces KIN 329 • KIN 477 replaces KIN 325 • KIN 478 replaces KIN 325L & KIN 329L • KIN 477 and 478 are co-requisites

  13. Kinesiology Prerequisite Courses • Plan ahead, for example, • Applied Fitness: BIO 101/L* -> BIO 211/212 ->KIN 300 -> KIN 345/L • Applied Fitness: KIN 345/L and KIN 346/L -> KIN 417/L • Exercise Science: BIO 101/L* -> BIO 211/212 ->KIN 300 -> KIN 345/L (C- or better) -> KIN 445 * BOTH Bio 106/L AND Bio 107/L are necessary if taken in lieu of Bio 101/L

  14. Kinesiology Prerequisite Courses • Plan ahead, for example, • Both Options: BIO 101/L* -> BIO 281 and KIN 201/L -> KIN 346/L (C- or better) -> KIN 446/L • Both Options: Kin 200 and 201/L -> KIN 377 -> KIN 477 and KIN 478 * BOTH Bio 106/L AND Bio 107/L are necessary if taken in lieu of Bio 101/L

  15. Other Kinesiology Information • Complete LD kinesiology core classes (KIN 200, KIN 201/L) right away • Complete majority of the UD kinesiology core (at least 4 of 6) before taking UD required courses in your option • Based on student feedback: try to avoid taking any of these classes simultaneously: 346, 325 477, 446, 445 • Courses that require a C- or better in KIN 346/L, KIN 345/L • KIN 436 • KIN 446 • KIN 456 • KIN 445

  16. Summer 2013 • Courses“usually” offered that can be applied to Exercise Science/Applied Fitness options • KIN 200, 305, 306, 329 377, 345, 346, 325 477/478 • http://tsengcollege.csun.edu

  21. Miscellaneous • Graduate School -Consult individual schools for prereqs and requirements • CSUN Kinesiology MS • http://www.csun.edu/hhd/kin/graduate.html • Can take MS classes last semester of BS, but will not count toward BS • Before applying, speak to faculty member in interest area • Graduate Coordinator: Dr. Vicky Jaque victoria.jaque@csun.edu • Do you belong to KMC? • Sign-up • Bagel Sale in west lobby of RE • Email: kinesiology.club.71@my.csun.edu • Think about your future now! • Attend the bi-semester FUTURE events offered by Dr. Loy • Get added to the “Jobs” email list: steven.loy@csun.edu; Please provide alternate email address (not my.csun.edu)
