Practicum Course List While practicum courses are required of all kinesiology and health science students in order to graduate, they are not applied towards the academic degree requirements in kinesiology and health science. The second digit of the practicum courses indicates the practicum area. One practicum course represents a total of 24 contact hours of sports activity or equivalent. Practicum courses provide professional preparation for kinesiology and health science students and as such may require vigorous physical activity. It is strongly recommended that every student in the practicum program have a medical examination prior to participating. Students with disabilities are considered on a case-by-case basis. Practicum courses are open to both men and women unless otherwise specified. For practicum course descriptions, please consult the School of Kinesiology and Health Science supplemental calendar.
