IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

• KINES 100 should ideally be taken in year one (if not, please contact Kinesiology department for permission to take KINES 100 & 200 in year two).
• KINES 200 should be taken in year two, as it is a prerequisite for several of the upper-division KINES courses
• HBIO 230/231 is a Fall-Spring sequence, and is typically taken in year two.
• KINES 215, 320, 325, 330, 340 are offered in both Fall and Spring semesters
