@afklin:
UC Berkeley has a Nutrition major along with many of the Cal States such as Cal Poly SLO, San Diego State, Long Beach State, San Jose State, San Francisco State to name a few.
Also, are you asking as a possible freshman or transfer applicant?
For incoming freshman. Is kinesiology still a non-impacted major?
Neither school has Kinesiology as a major.
UC Davis has Biology major with a minor in Exercise Biology or Human Physiology.
UCLA has Integrative Biology and Physiology major. There are some upper division courses in Kinesiology.
If you are looking for solid Kinesiology programs, consider the Cal states such as Cal Poly SLO or Pomona, San Diego State, Cal state Long Beach and Fullerton. All these programs are impacted.
You can look up non-impacted Kinesio programs for the Cal States here: https://www2.calstate.edu/attend/impaction-at-the-csu/Documents/ImpactedProgramsMatrix.pdf
What is your end career goal? PT school?
not sure yet, but health care related, perhaps physician assistant, FNP. Trying to find out what would be the best major to both prepare myself and give me the best chance (including getting decent GPA)
@afklin this is a good website with a lot of information about what is required for each allied health profession. https://hpa.ucdavis.edu/exploring-health-careers. They have a pdf of each health profession and which undergrad courses are required. https://hpa.ucdavis.edu/sites/g/files/dgvnsk4121/files/inline-files/PhysicianAssistant_PrerequisitesSheet_0.pdf
Most health professions require a year of biology, chemistry, and calculus as well as organic chemistry. Look for majors at different schools where those classes are required or where you wouldn’t have a problem taking those classes if they are not in your major. For example, at UCD and UCSB, it is very easy to take classes that are not in your major. UCI makes it a little more difficult as some of the science classes go to those in the College of Biological Sciences before they are open to students in other colleges.
