What is academic advising? Academic advising is designed to assist and enhance the University experience. Students must know who their advisor is, and be willing to work with their advisor to complete their degree in a timely and productive fashion. Advising is an educational process that by intention and design, facilitates students’ understanding of the meaning and purpose of higher education and fosters their intellectual and personal development toward academic success and lifelong learning (NACADA, 2004).

What are the desired outcomes from the advising experience? - The student will understand what Kinesiology is, how the Kinesiology curriculum was structured, the course requirements for a liberal arts program, and the connection between the curriculum and the mission of the University. - The student will understand the requirements for degree completion, the student learning outcomes related to the Kinesiology major, and the professional opportunities provided with the completion of the degree - The student will understand the process of course selection and enrollment and the use of technology to find line schedules for each semester, determine enrollment date, find testing dates for finals, and enroll in courses using the KATS system - The student will understand and apply the Degree Audit Report System (DARS) to monitor their progression through the degree and identify both completed and incomplete requirements - The student will understand the role of the advisor as an educator in assisting the student in the learning of the curriculum and the completion of the degree program - The student will understand the process of degree completion including the use graduate checks, minors, second majors, the application for graduation, dropping and adding classes, and the graduation ceremony. - The student will know understand the role and how to access the multitude of support services available to the undergraduate student including Pre-Health advising, Career Employment Services, the Academic and Career Information Center, the Academic Assistance Center, the Office of Student Life, the Counseling Center, Student Financial Assistance, Tutoring Center, Student Services, and other Community and University programs.

Advising experience Advising is typically a one-on-one experience after today. Enrollment for Spring is in October, Enrollment for Fall/Summer is typically right after Spring break. Your enrollment date is based upon your accumulated college credits

Meeting with an advisor The easiest way to schedule an advising meeting is to email an advisor with the days and times you can meet. We will then check our schedules to set up a meeting that is convenient for you. A typical meeting can last from 10 to 30 minutes during which your flag will be pulled and a tentative schedule will be developed for the next semester.

What you will need to bring to your advising sessions Your Kinesiology folder with your curriculum and information A tentative list of courses you would like to enroll in Some general goals you would like to achieve in the next semester Questions you have about the department, college, university that need to be addressed Advising for Spring semester is typically in October, Advising for Fall/Summer is typically after Spring break in March

General Education K-State 8 The K-State 8 general education program helps students widen their perspectives, explore relationships among subjects and build critical and analytical thinking skills. K-State 8 exposes students to a broad range of knowledge in different academic areas. The program shapes well-rounded thinkers and helps prepare students for careers, graduate school and other post- graduate experiences.

K-State 8 Course Requirement Guidelines Each student must successfully complete credit-bearing courses/experiences to cover all of the K-State 8 areas. Some of the K-State 8 areas may be covered in the student's major. The intent of the K-State 8 is for students to explore the perspectives of disciplines that may be quite different from those of their own majors. For that reason, a minimum of four different course prefixes (e.g., AGEC, MATH, FSHS) must be represented in the fulfillment of the K-State 8 requirements. When a course is tagged for two K-State 8 areas, the student may count that course toward both areas. However, advisors are strongly encouraged to recommend that students enroll in a sufficient variety of courses and experiences to offer them a genuine breadth of perspective.

K-State 8 areas Aesthetic Experience and Interpretive Understanding Empirical and Quantitative Reasoning Ethical Reasoning and Responsibility Global Issues and Perspectives Historical Perspectives Human Diversity within the U.S. Natural and Physical Sciences Social Sciences

General education classes Students must complete all college and departmental requirements to receive degree Use the Deans Audit report on iSIS to monitor progress towards your degree At approximately 85 completed hours, go to Justin 119 and request a grad check to determine what requirements must still be completed

Content Areas in the curriculum Exercise Physiology : is the responses of the human body to physical activity. Emphasis is placed on understanding the structure-function relationships of the respiratory, cardiovascular, and muscular systems and how their function is integrated to support the dynamics of muscular contraction. Exercise Behavioral Science: Exercise Behavioral Science focuses on understanding behavioral and social processes that influence physical activity and the use of these processes to explain or modify physical activity and public health outcomes. Behavioral processes refer to overt actions such as cognition, emotion, temperament, and motivation whereas social processes include socio-economic status, socio-demographic characteristics, and the various levels of social conditions ranging from small groups to complex cultural systems and societal influences. Exercise behavioral science is studied from multiple levels including individual, interpersonal, settings, policy, and socio-cultural.

BS/MS/MPH Degree The combined BS/MS and BS/MPH program provides exceptional undergraduates with the opportunity to obtain both a bachelor of science and master of science degree in Kinesiology in possibly five years or a bachelor of science and Master of Public Health degree in possibly five years, a shorter time than typically required to earn a BS and Masters if both degrees are earned separately. The program has two options : thesis and course work. Information on Kinesiology website at www.k-state.edu/kines
