The Kinesiology Program at ULM seeks to provide our students with skills to successfully pursue contemporary careers.
With studies concentrated in exercise science, pre-physical therapy, and sport management, our faculty and facilities provide the best possible learning environment. Our CAAHEP
certifications for both undergraduate and graduate programs speak to the quality of
the education we offer. We welcome potential students to discover ULM.
Choosing Kinesiology
Our Kinesiology program prepare students for exciting careers in the sport, fitness, and health industries, which could include conducting scientific testing in an exercise physiology lab, preparing to
enter physical therapy or athletic training graduate programs, working on the business side of sport-related organizations, and entering the fitness
and recreation industry at all levels.
Requirements in the Kinesiology Program
With the high quality standards set by the Kinesiology Program, students must be able
to meet eligibility requirements, excel in their studies and maintain a "C" or above

potential our graduates have to offer.
Program Goal
The goal of the B.S. in Kinesiology-Exercise Science Concentration program is to educate
and prepare students for entry-level positions in careers that include strength and
conditioning, exercise, fitness, training, and rehabilitation services. In addition,
ULM Kinesiology aims to prepare many undergraduates for further educations in various
graduate and professional schools.
Student Learning Outcomes
SLO #1: Students will comprehend theories behind the physiological and metabolic responses
to exercise and be able to apply and test these theories with various populations
in a safe manner.
SLO #2: Students will conduct and interpret exercise testing results and create specific
exercise programs for various populations according to age, functional capacity, pre-existing
conditions, and desired outcomes.
SLO #3: Students will understand body composition protocols and apply these protocols to
body composition assessment with minimal errors.
SLO #4: Students will apply myriad exercise science theories and concepts with clients in
either clinical or professional settings.
