`Kinesiology & Health
Accreditation & Certification
School of Education, Health, and Society
Accreditation and certification provide added assurance to students and prospective employers that our professional degree programs meet the highest standards. Several programs offered by the Department of Kinesiology and Health (KNH) are accredited or certified by their respective professional organizations.
Graduates of KNH’s dietetics and athletic training programs are eligible to apply for professional certification. This requires passing a national exam and in the case of dietetics also fulfilling a professional internship following graduation.
Certification programs:
- Athletic Training Program: Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education
- Dietetic Program: American Dietetic Association
- Exercise Science (certification in progress)
KNH offers two teacher licensure programs. Both are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). NCATE accreditation demonstrates that teacher candidates have been thoroughly assessed before they are recommended for licensure.
