Kinesiology
Kinesiology is the science of human movement and physical activity. Kinesiology majors study how people learn new motor skills, the effects of exercise on the physiology and biomechanics of the human body, how to best treat and rehabilitate sports injuries, and much more. Kinesiology is part of the fastest growing body of professions in the nation, with Bureau of Labor Statistics estimating future growth in related positions at nearly three times the national average for all occupations combined.
Classes in the Department of Kinesiology prepare students for certifications as Strength and Conditioning Specialists (CSCS), Personal Trainers, Exercise Physiologists (CEP), Physical Education Teachers, and for graduate programs in Kinesiology, Physical and Occupational Therapy, Athletic Training, medical school and many others. Students at the undergraduate level can select from two concentrations focused on Exercise Science or Physical Education.
The faculty members in Kinesiology are dedicated to life-long learning, personal growth and student success. Please visit our faculty page to learn more about their professional and academic background.
