BS in Exercise Physiology

The Department of Kinesiology offers three degree programs: BA in Kinesiology (430 students), BS in Exercise Physiology (476 students), and an MA in Kinesiology (40 students). All three degree programs were fully affirmed in fall 2017 through our 5-year Academic Program Review (APR) process. Ten years ago, we enrolled roughly 400 students. The interest in wellness in recent years has resulted in greater demand for Kinesiology careers and thus enrollment has climbed to over 900 students presently.

The Department of Kinesiology is a member of the American Kinesiology Association whose mission is to promote and enhance kinesiology as a unified field of study and advance its many applications. AKA does this by advocating for kinesiology at national and international levels as well as by supporting its member departments by providing resource materials and leadership and educational opportunities for university administrators in kinesiology.

KINE faculty put students at the center of everything we do including our scholarship. In the last 5 years, students have accompanied faculty to present at conferences all over the Unites States as well as Australia, Taiwan, and France. We have five active students clubs and our students also work collaboratively with the campus FitU program, which is a student-run peer mentoring program.

Students in the Kinesiology Department have been recipients of many awards. Most recently, Ty Bradford received the President's Award for Academic Excellence and Isaiah Dargan received the Scholar Athlete Award.
