Can you get a Letter of Recommendation from a Kinesiology professor if the class wasn't a 'real' science class?

I had a class on human wellness that was under kinesiology, so I'm wondering if I can get a LOR from the prof I had in this class. It wasn't a real 'science-y' class much at all, we talked about things like stress management and goal-setting lol but I'm just curious. Probably not, but you never know. Our kinesiology department holds the anatomy and physiology classes and is stupidly hard so it's not like some rinky-dink bs thing or anything but yeah.

Thoughts?

You could get a letter of rec from your PE teacher if you want. I was a psych major and got one from a teacher in that department. Just make sure you have 2 in science

But what I’m asking is, does a letter of recommendation from the kinesiology professor above count as a science professor?

Yes Kinesiology is science! Several of my friends got letters from their Kinesiology profs and they are counted as science.

As long as the letter clearly shows unique merit, it's fine. And yes, kinesiology is a science 🙂

Idk if that will count as science. What is the prefix attached to that course? Is it a BIOL course that would be considered a science, or something like a HLTH course?

My school had a kinesiology class, but the prefix was HLTH and it wasn’t part of the “science” department. Didn’t count as part of science GPA, although it was kinesiology.

It’s KN. Each subject has its own separate department so it’s not like there’s a ‘science’ department, but rather one for ‘biological sciences’ and another for ‘physics’ and another for ‘chemistry, etc. Kinesiology here is its own thing too.
