MAJOR IN KINESIOLOGY. 36 credits, including KINS-100, KINS-250, KINS-251, KINS-300, KINS-330, KINS-464, and 12 elective credits. Students may take BIOL-351 and BIOL-362 instead of KINS-251. This is particularly important for students who plan to go to graduate school or continue into a health profession program of study. Note: BIOL-362 has BIOL-130 as a prerequisite.

NOTE ON LABORATORY COURSES: In courses that require a co-requisite lab section, the lecture and lab grades are both factored into the final lecture grade. Successful completion of all KINS lab courses require registration and a passing grade in both the lecture and lab sections.
Grade Point Average Notation: All courses listed in the catalog as required courses for any major and/or minor, including those courses outside of the department or with a different subject coding, are considered part of the major and will count in the grade point average. Some departments may have additional grade requirements for the courses offered within their department. Recommended supporting courses that are optional and not required may also count in the major depending on the program. For more information see your department chair or the degree requirements for Bachelor of Arts and information on Majors/Minors.

Five student-athletes — from hometowns in Illinois, Hawai'i, Texas and Tennessee — are the college's most recent Academic All-Americans. Now with 183 Academic All-Americans, Augustana ranks 14th among the NCAA’s 1,100 schools in DI, DII and DIII across the country.
This is the second consecutive year Augustana has been represented on an Academic All-American team. Charlotte Frere, a biology and kinesiology double major from Preemption, Ill., won the national DIII title this past season in the discus and has a 3.94 GPA.
Recognized for excellence in and out of the classroom, Kade Ariano '25 received a scholarship that pays for his junior year’s tuition at Augustana and a paid internship with the Quad Cities River Bandits in the summer of 2024.
For a fee, come to our lab in Lindberg from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. and get either a body composition test or a VO2 max test conducted by students from the Kinesiology program!
