Kines 295B is a one credit course which provides the students’ the first opportunity to explore various careers in Kinesiology. This is a student observation course only. Kines 295B has two components consisting of 12 hours of professional observation and panel discussions from professionals in the field of Kinesiology. Each student must confirm their observation site by December 1 for the spring semester and by April 1 for the fall semester. During the site confirmation meeting, the student is required to complete the agency placement agreement with the agency supervisor, discuss completing the 12 required hours of observation, any vaccinations/tests needed to comply with agency policies, and determine if background checks and/or CPR certification are required. Please submit the completed agency placement agreement to Dr. Allen Urich, located in EAB S202A.
