About Movement and Sports Science
The Movement and Sports Science (MSS)
Department offers three tracks of study within two
majors. The MSS Education Major prepares students
to teach Physical Education in the State of
California public school system. The Athletic
Training Major prepares students to become
Certified Athletic Trainers by addressing the educational
and clinical competencies required to
pass the Board of Certification (BOC) exam.
Students interested in becoming physical therapists
often select either the MSS major or the
Athletic Training major to fulfill many of the prerequisites
for entrance into physical therapy graduate
programs. The department chairperson designs
the MSS major to meet the needs of the student's
alternate career choice. Each major will prepare
a student for graduate study in the Movement and
Sports Science field.
