Overview

Before you begin, it's important to identify your career goals, so we can map out the curriculum that best suits your needs. For instance, with the traditional curriculum option, you'll be working toward your Class A teaching certificate. Your courses will include Curriculum Development, Teaching Strategies, and Adapted Physical Education. In the end, you'll complete a thesis or sit for a comprehensive exam.

On the other hand, if you plan to pursue doctoral studies or physiology research opportunities, the exercise physiology concentration is better for you. You'll take courses in statistics, qualitative methods, and physiology, among others.

Fast Facts:

The job outlook for health educators is growing at a rate of 16 percent, which is much faster than average (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics).

Kinesiology graduate students from The University of Alabama at Birmingham may choose from one of several master’s degrees or one graduate certificate: a certificate in Clinical Exercise Physiology. In addition to traditional and alternative physical education teacher certification master’s degrees and an exercise physiology master’s degree, the Kinesiology program also offers a post-master’s education specialist degree for those who have completed their M.S. teacher certification.
