Kinesiology is not really an easy major at many schools.  A&P is intensive, Chem 1&2 and Physics 1&2 and Bio 1&2 are intensive courses. [/quote]

UMCP requires algebra, freshman biology, and sophomore anatomy - no calculus, chemistry, nor physics.  George Mason is similar.  Penn State requires one semester of chemistry.

I think you are just imagining a degree with multiple real science courses.  The actual curriculum is loaded with fluff courses like "Methods of Exercise Instruction".[/quote]

It differs by schools.  My kid started in an Exercise Physiology program at a school that also has a DPT program.  majority of kids in the program wanted to be DPTs, and about half in the EP program were direct admit to the DPT program.  Full year of Bio and Chem were required. And if you want to be a DPT, you will need a full year of Physics, so 99% of kids were taking that as well.    Statistics were required as well as A&P1&2 (Full year, or a semester of A and semester of P)   It was a rigorous major---then again I suspect 95% eventually went onto DPT, OT, medical school, PA or Athletic training MS.
