Minor in Kinesiology
Kinesiology is the study of human movement and physical activity. Students minoring in Kinesiology can study how people learn new motor skills, the effects of exercise on the
physiology and biomechanics of the human body, how to best treat and rehabilitate injuries, the history and philosophy of sport in the region, teaching physical education to K-12 students, and much more. Through this minor, students will:
- Supplement their major program of study or career interest with coursework in human movement
- Improve their own health literacy and personal wellness, preparing them up to make lifestyle improvements that can improve health outcomes
- Gain exposure to the field of Kinesiology and be provided a pathway to pursue graduate programs in Kinesiology & Movement Science
