/ Kinesiology Department

Degree Programs

The kinesiology department uses the study and practice of human movement to transform the mind, body and spirit for lives of leadership, character and service.

We live out this mission in our two academic programs:

Exercise science majors will find themselves well prepared for a variety of health-related career paths. In addition to our general exercise science course sequence, we offer several other sequences that will have student prepared for post-graduate studies including pre-medical, pre-physicans assistant, pre-physical therapist and pre-occupational therapist. We also provide a Professional Tennis Management program.
