Clinical Movement Science
The Clinical Movement Science concentration provides coursework for students interested in pursuing graduate school programs/careers in any clinical or exercise and allied health settings (e.g., physical therapist, occupational therapist, clinical exercise physiologist, chiropractor, athletic trainer, etc.). Students are advised on courses required for entry into specific allied health programs. Students pursuing this concentration must have completed 30 academic units and must possess a 3.2 cumulative GPA to apply for the concentration. Students must apply for this concentration with an advisor before beginning any of the course work. Students are also HIGHLY encouraged to volunteer in their anticipated career before selecting this concentration. Note: the coursework required in this concentration does NOT meet prerequisites for all allied health related graduate school programs.
