The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) marketable skills initiative is part of the state’s 60x30TX plan and was designed to help students articulate their skills to employers. Marketable skills are those skills valued by employers and/or graduate programs that can be applied in a variety of work or education settings and may include interpersonal, cognitive, and applied skill areas.
The BS in Kinesiology: Movement Science Concentration is designed to provide graduates with the following marketable skills:
- Content knowledge in research and areas of study including exercise physiology, biomechanics, and motor learning.
- Fitness program design and implementation.
- Effective communication with a range of audiences in movement science settings.
- Critical thinking and decision making related to ethical and professional responsibilities in exercise science.
- Ability to implement critical areas of human performance into fitness and wellness occupations.
- Ability to apply knowledge to movement science and human performance settings.
