Our Kinesiology program prepares competent students to excel in the fields of exercise science, sport management, and teaching. Kinesiology majors choose between three tracks: exercise science, sport management, or teaching. Students pursuing exercise science are able to apply science concepts in a variety of exercise science professions and earn a Health minor. Students seeking sport management apply business concepts and principles in a sport setting and earn a business minor. Students exploring teacher licensure are prepared to teach Physical Education at the elementary, middle, and secondary levels and earn a PK-12 Education minor (see Education Department). Kinesiology majors are engaged in authentic learning experiences and interdisciplinary coursework throughout their program of study, which includes clinical settings and internships.
