National Pioneers

Connecticut -- For these young people, tae kwon do is not an easy elective or physical-education credit. They are national pioneers, pursuing the only bachelor's degree in martial-arts studies available in the U.S.

The program mixes practical lessons in tae kwon do, tai chi and karate with studies of the cultures behind these forms of self-defense and spiritual growth.

Since the university launched the major in 2005, interest has steadily increased, and department leaders say that trend likely will continue.
