When Kennesaw State University progressed from a two-year to a four-year institution, a B.S. degree in Health and Physical Education was approved. This degree program was designed for students to become either a) certified Health and Physical Education teachers, or b) to pursue a non-teaching focused curriculum option. For many years the strength of the Health and Physical Education degree program rested upon the teaching certification option with few students selecting the non-teaching option. However, with the rapid expansion of the health and physical education profession, non-teaching options nationwide became more defined, specifically in areas such as Exercise Science, Health Promotion, and Sport Management. In 1989, the Department formally developed these areas as tracks within the Health and Physical Education program. Over the next five years the popularity of these tracks grew and the curriculum continued to be refined. In order to be in compliance with national standards in exercise and health science (ACSM & NASPE) for these tracks and to meet teacher education accreditation (NCATE) and state teacher certification requirements, the requirements of the teaching and non-teaching programs have become increasingly distinct and different over the years. While these two career paths continue to share some common course requirements, the unique requirements of each are now so different that they should be separated into two stand-alone majors. In February 1998, the Board of Regents approved a B.S. degree in Exercise and Health Science. It is important for students to realize that curriculum is dynamic; therefore, the faculty will continue to evaluate and revise the curriculum in order to provide students with the best possible program in Exercise and Health Science.
