The Kinesiology program focuses on the study of human physical activity. Our program's mission is to prepare professionals to practice at the baccalaureate and masters level, conduct research, pursue graduate study, and engage in public and professional service.

Programs in Kinesiology include the Bachelor of Science and the Master of Science degrees for students who want to prepare for careers in organizing and managing health-related exercise programs in community health clubs, corporate fitness centers, and medical settings; developing and managing programs to rehabilitate people with disabilities through the use of exercise; leading physical activity programs in nonprofit, community agencies such as YMCAs, Boys and Girls Clubs, or community recreation centers; teaching physical education, adapted physical education, or dance in schools; and coaching athletic teams in schools and colleges. Students can also prepare to study for advanced degrees in Kinesiology or an allied health profession. The program also offers a wide variety of physical activity courses dealing with sports skills and exercise techniques for all university students. Special exercise classes are open to students with disabilities.
