Mission Statement

The Cedarville University Department of Kinesiology and Allied

Health seeks to:

1. Equip students for careers in sport- and exercise-related

and the allied health professions.

2. Enable students to view knowledge in light of scriptural

truth.

3. Help students apply and model knowledge to the vocation

and world in which they work and live.

4. Encourage growth in Christian character.

Preparation

Students planning to pursue a major within the Department of

Kinesiology and Allied Health are best prepared in high school

by taking a college preparatory curriculum. Students planning

to pursue a multi-age physical education or sport and exercise

studies major should take as many physical education courses

as possible. Those considering majors in allied health, exercise

science, and athletic training should take biology, chemistry,

physics, and mathematics courses at least through algebra II.

Department Requirements

Once students declare a major within the Department of

Kinesiology and Allied Health, they are expected to maintain

a level of personal physical fitness which demonstrates a

commitment to professionalism and biblical stewardship. A

mandatory semi-annual cardiovascular fitness assessment is used

to evaluate the status of the student’s fitness.

Multi-age physical education and sport and exercise studies

majors have courses in their respective curricula that have motor

skill performance proficiencies. While meeting the proficiency

standards is not required to receive a passing grade in all

classes, satisfactory completion of all of the proficiencies is a

degree requirement. See
