Kinesiology is the study of human movement across a range of tasks including exercise, daily living, play, sport, and work. Course work integrates biological and behavioral approaches using biomechanical, physiological, psychological, and sociological perspectives to study human movement. Kinesiology promotes an understanding of the necessity of movement activities for physical and psychological health.

Students interested in earning a minor in Kinesiology can choose either a public health/physical activity emphasis or an exercise physiology emphasis. Either emphasis requires 15 hours of Kinesiology courses.

All courses in the minor must be completed at a C level or higher to count for the minor.

At the completion of minor requirements and prior to graduation the student will need to provide proof of pending graduation to the Kinesiology department, Natatorium 1A. Once minor requirements have been verified, the registrar’s office will be notified to add the minor to the student’s record.
