Each student will complete this under the supervision and guidance of an Exercise Science faculty member. Students are encouraged to complete this course during their junior year, fall semester. During or after completion of this course, the student may submit a proposal for either a SURF or UROP award to support their research for the Honors Project/Thesis.
4 Credits: Each student must successfully complete KIN699H: Honor's Project (honors thesis equivalent). During this course, students will complete their thesis. The latest this course should be taken is senior year, fall semester in order to allow sufficient time to collect data and write thesis.
