Helping others to enhance the quality of their lives through physical activity and other areas of wellness is just one reason our students study kinesiology. Professionals in the field of kinesiology design and implement physical activity programs that include individuals with a variety of physical characteristics and are safe, effective, and enjoyable. This program prepares students for careers related to physical activity and provides a firm foundation in the liberal arts. The program may also be tailored to accommodate specific student needs. Graduates pursue careers as physical education teachers, health-fitness instructors, athletic or personal trainers, exercise or recreation leaders, coaches, or athletic administrators. The study of kinesiology is also helpful for those interested in pursuing professional certification programs.
