Secondary Education Physical Education/Kinesiology Fast Track
Note to students: Remember that this is a SAMPLE. Your schedule, for many reasons, will probably not end up looking exactly like this. What’s shown is a “fast-track” schedule. Be aware that you also have the option of completing the Kinesiology major over a four-year period, with a fifth year reserved for your teaching credential. Requirements will differ if you enter Westmont with AP or college credit. Please confer with Kinesiology department advisor as major requirements sometimes change. Pre-requisites for the Education Program are in bold.
