The vision of the School of Kinesiology is to be a national and global leader in education, impactful research, and service within the Kinesiology disciplines.

The mission of the School of Kinesiology is to develop highly skilled graduate and undergraduate students who will be competitive in the job market based around core experiences that consists of: innovative instruction, exposure to cutting edge scholarship, and community engagement. 

Kinesiology is a program in motion. We study human movement from a wide range of perspectives, in disciplines such as physical education, medicine/rehabilitation, sports performance, fitness, research, and other allied health areas.

We combine traditional classroom activities with experiential learning to ensure our students gain the knowledge, skills, and values they need to become professionals in health and wellness.

We offer a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with concentrations in exercise science pre-professional studies, exercise science fitness studies, health and physical education (K-12), health promotion and wellness, and sport management.

Students needing a more flexible degree path can enroll in the sport management concentration, offered on campus or online, or the health promotion and wellness concentration, offered exclusively online.

The School of Kinesiology is a member of the American Kinesiology Association.
