Like any academic discipline or professional area of study, Kinesiology and Physical Education departments face curricular challenges. This is due to a multitude of historical, philosophical, practical, and theoretical issues and perspectives that affect any one department's curricular decisions and offerings. Personnel play a key role too. That is, curricular offerings may exist and people are then hired to cover the existing curriculum, and the people who get hired may have some freedom to develop their own unique curriculum. Furthermore, an evolving and expanding disciplinary knowledge base is reflected in the growing list of prerequisite, required, and elective coursework within the Kinesiology and Physical Education major. A consequence of this is curricular squeeze, whereby the major areas of study are increasingly coursework and credit hour heavy. Likewise, due to the expense of higher education, academic programs are under pressure to make certain that their degree programs can be completed in 4 years. However, to complete a degree in 4 years, there is little room for error, experimentation, or flexibility on the student's part. Thus, departments are often put in the position of determining the essential and non-essential curricular offerings within their degree programs. Coursework in the humanities and the behavioral and social sciences may be relegated to the non-essential category depending on departmental philosophy and vision. Rather than fold altogether, an alternative is to take an interdisciplinary approach to the design and delivery of these courses. Such an approach is consistent with a cultural praxis approach in general and the adaptation of Wright's model in sport studies in particular (Ryba & Wright, 2005). As a model of pedagogical praxis, the "Sociocultural Dimensions of Physical Activity" course will be introduced. This course blends content coming from the traditional single disciplinary areas of history, philosophy, and sociology of sport, along with the contemporary specialty of exercise psychology. The course has evolved over the past 8 years and now includes content and topics within five broad domains of physical activity: Meaning and Purpose, Social Theory, Social Institutions, Social Groups, and Social Problems. The course is a core requirement within all major degree program tracks of the department and it is included in the university's general education requirements within both the “Social Processes and Institutions” and “Western Culture” categories. The course compliments and supports some of the arguments made in Wright's cultural praxis model and serves as a model of pedagogical praxis within Kinesiology and Physical Education.Keyword(s): college level issues, curriculum development, interdisciplinary
