Kinesiology
The Science Behind Movement
Welcome to kinesiology — where you’ll break down the science behind every jump, lift and sprint. From classrooms to clinics, gyms to game days, you’ll explore how physical activity powers education, fitness, quality of life, therapy and peak performance. Students have the choice of four tracks: health promotions, health and exercise science, physical education or strength and conditioning.
Oh, and your degree? It comes with a side of bragging rights. We’re CAAHEP-accredited and NSCA-approved, which means you’ll have industry-recognized creds that matter.
A Kinetic Thread
