Undergraduate Program
Kinesiology prepares students for a wide variety of academic and professional pursuits in fields that specialize in human body movement and other factors of human health.
The B.S. in Human Health & Physiology focuses on the biological and physiological foundations of health, offering students hands-on experience in areas such as anatomy, physiology, exercise physiology, biomechanics and health assessment. This degree is tailored for those aiming to pursue careers in healthcare, research or further graduate studies in medical and allied health fields (such as physical therapy, occupational therapy and nursing).
The Public Health program, offering both a B.S. and a B.A., is designed to provide students with a well-rounded understanding of the core disciplinary areas of epidemiology, environmental health, policy, and social and behavioral public health. The B.S. emphasizes scientific and quantitative approaches, ideal for students interested in epidemiology, data analysis or environmental health. The B.A., meanwhile, emphasizes community and social perspectives to address health disparities and promote health equity.
Our graduates go on to become medical doctors, physician assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, nurses, athletic trainers, or they go into other allied health professions or sports and exercise related fields. We are happy to advise you at any stage of your academic journey.
You don't have to be a major or a minor to benefit from a one of our courses. If you are looking for an elective or to fulfil a COLL requirement, help yourself to our seminar or introductory courses. An understanding of the factors affecting human health is useful knowledge for anyone.
We also encourage you to seek additional experience either through research or internship opportunities.
