Kinesiology is a discipline emphasizing the study of movement as it relates to physical activity, health and disease prevention, exercise and sport. Using both human and animal models and reflecting research ranging from basic to applied, it draws from an interdisciplinary body of knowledge grounded in the biological, psychological, physical and social sciences. Undergraduate students in the program gain disciplinary knowledge of anatomical, biomechanical, developmental, physiological, psychological and sociological aspects of human movement and physical activity. The department’s graduate programs, at both the master’s and doctoral levels, are highly regarded nationally and internationally and have a strong interdisciplinary emphasis.
