Totally agree ... by and large. Yes, there are some (far too many, actually) schools that simply "rebranded" a basic subset of PE coursework and left it at that.AZGrizFan said:So......gotta disagree here. My daughter just graduated from Texas Tech with a degree in Kinesiology. It’s MUCH more than a glorified “PE degree”. You sell a lot of people short who’ve successfully completed that degree.tourist said:I like good news like this. Made my day. :thumb:
Kinesiology Major, $10 word for P.E. Major. Any of us who went to college know the first two years classes aren't terribly tough, yet he dug himself a hole so deep that he couldn't get out. Drops out a year ago to concentrate on grades, yet...
As I recall last years posts on Murray, there weren't too many posters who thought he would ever wear a Bobscat uniform again. I was surprised to see him on the field this spring. Close, but no cigar.
But a true, rigorous kinesiology curriculum is a killer program. Start with a deep knowledge of physiology (static and dynamic), add in physics and material science (muscles, tendons, etc are materials with specific properties in tension and compression), and finish off with the mental game. (And there's probably more I have not mentioned.)
