Education
Within
the Division of Kinesiology and Health Science, students at California State
University, Fullerton will have the opportunity to earn a B.S. or M.S. in
Kinesiology with an emphasis on Community and Youth Sports within the Sports
Studies focus area. Students with a baccalaureate degree will be well prepared
to work in non-profit community recreational settings like Boys’ and
Girls’ Clubs, YMCAs, and community recreation centers. Students will
also have an excellent background to pursue a single-subject teaching credential
in kinesiology/physical education and/or pursue coaching at the club, intramural,
or interscholastic levels. Students who earn advanced degrees may be well
suited to assume leadership and administrative roles in those same community
or school-based agencies.
