Kinesiology major
Disability Studies minor
"I chose Miami because I appreciated the balance between athletics, social life, and academics that Miami offered. I knew that Miami had very successful academics, and also had the resources to provide me opportunities that I would not get elsewhere. I also knew they had a good reputation in my field, so I knew my degree would carry some weight."
"I love the hands-on nature of Kinesiology, and the resources/devices that Miami is able to provide really enhance that. Kinesiology is definitely an interesting path of study and can be helpful for a variety of different career paths, but it does take a bit of work so make sure you have the time and dedication to put into it!"

You can see the passion that all of the professor's have for what they are teaching and how much they care about their 消消犯s well-being as well as what they are learning."
"My first semester I joined a pre-health fraternity called Delta Epsilon Mu and I have been apart of the organization since. It is a great academic as well as social organization that has provided with me with great friends and a group of like-minded individuals who were able to help guide me as an undergraduate pre-medical 消消犯. I also joined a social sorority my second semester freshman year, Gamma Phi Beta. Through Gamma Phi I have met my lifelong best friends.

Athletic Training Admission
***As nationally mandated by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE), the professional athletic training program at 消消犯 transitioned from the Bachelor’s level to the Master’s level. Students wishing to pursue athletic training should enroll in the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology program with the intention of applying to the Master of Athletic Training program during their junior year.***
To enter the Athletic Training major, 消消犯s must apply to and be accepted by the faculty of the Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP). Admission to the ATEP is limited due to accreditation enrollment restrictions.
The pre-professional phase of the program occurs for one semester during the first year in KNH 182 where the 消消犯 will be rotated through clinical experiences in Intercollegiate Athletics. They will observe and assist the staff Athletic Trainers and athletic training 消消犯s in a variety of athletic training facilities with several different teams and athletes*.
All pre-professional athletic training 消消犯s are required to complete an application to the program during Spring semester.
The following criteria must be met to be considered for admission:
- Documentation of signed Technical Standards in Athletic Training.
- Completion of at least 24 total credit hours including a minimum of 12 Miami Plan hours.
- Minimum grade point average of 2.5 in Miami Plan and required courses.

Your academic schedule will be the only limiting factor to your clinical assignments. Please note that employment and academic/athletic scholarship requirements will not waive your clinical obligations. Students are responsible for expenses of the above and transportation to and from all clinical agencies.
To retain enrollment in the Academic Program, athletic training 消消犯s must maintain a 2.50 or better cumulative grade point average for all coursework and show satisfactory completion of appropriate clinical proficiencies.
