Our Kinesiology program prepares competent students to excel in the fields of exercise science, sport management, and teaching with or without licensure. Kinesiology majors choose between four tracks: exercise science, sport management, teaching with licensure, and teaching without licensure. Students in 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 K-12 Education Minor (see Education Department). Students earning a degree in teaching without licensure will also learn teaching skills and best practices and can choose from a variety of minors. Many on this track will go on to get a graduate degree in teaching. Kinesiology majors are engaged in authentic learning experiences and interdisciplinary coursework throughout their program of study, which includes clinical settings and internships.
