Program Overview
Kinesiology, BS & Public Health, MPH
Overview
The Kinesiology curriculum leads to a bachelor of science degree that will prepare students for careers in human movement-related fields and/or advanced professional or graduate study. The undergraduate program provides the student with a broad general education, a departmental core integral to the understanding of the diverse aspects of human movement, and a correlate area of courses specific to the student's area of concentration within Kinesiology.
Degree Requirements
The Kinesiology program is committed to the study and research of human movement in all its dimensions. Undergraduate study focuses on exercise stress, movement efficiency, and fitness; the social, cultural, and psychological aspects of participation in physical activity and sport; coordination, control, and skill of physical activity; physical growth, development, and body form throughout the lifespan; the effects of therapeutic techniques of Kinesiology upon recovery from physical injury; and the instructional process of teaching/coaching of physical activity and sport.
