Kinesiology BS MS PhD Nutrition
The Department of Kinesiology and Nutrition offers programs in kinesiology leading to Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
What is Kinesiology?
The field of kinesiology represents the study of human movement from the cellular level to the whole body. Practitioners of kinesiology are interested in the relationship between a fit, strong body and quality of life — in everyone from high-performance athletes to people living with disabilities or disease. Our graduates are experts in injury- and disease-prevention, functional evaluation and rehabilitation, and ergonomic solutions that promise better health for a lifetime.
What We Offer
BS Program
Students select a concentration in either movement science or exercise and fitness. Numerous clinical internships and research opportunities are available to supplement classroom work.
MS Program
MS degree candidates choose from concentrations in applied exercise physiology, exercise biology, and motor control and learning. Students from any academic background may apply, understanding there may be specific prerequisite course work depending on the desired concentration.
This program trains outstanding scholars who will assume research, teaching and service positions in the interdisciplinary area of kinesiology, nutrition, and rehabilitation. Doctoral candidates may choose an emphasis in Motor Control and Musculoskeletal Biomechanics; Integrative Pathophysiology, Nutrition and Health Promotion; or Rehabilitation Sciences.
