Kinesiology
Exercise and movement-related fields are more popular than ever, thanks to society’s love of sports and growing interest in health, fitness, and better living. Kinesiology, the study of human movement, provides a foundation for careers in these growing professions.
Occupations
Kinesiology graduates will be prepared for further study or careers in teaching, coaching, athletic training, adapted physical education, allied health fields, health and fitness industries, sports industries, or exercise and movement science.
