The Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology & Health Sciences offers a comprehensive foundation for students pursuing careers in clinical exercise physiology and allied health professions, as well as sport and exercise psychology.
Students gain knowledge in anatomy, biomechanics, exercise prescription, health behavior, exercise physiology, and sport and exercise psychology while developing practical skills through lab-based learning and hands-on experiences. This degree is ideal for those planning to pursue careers or graduate programs in physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant studies, medicine, clinical exercise physiology, sport and exercise psychology, or research.
Students interested in becoming a licensed physical therapist, a licensed occupational therapist, a physician’s assistant, a medical doctor, or a professor will need to complete advanced graduate work (master’s degree, D.P.T., M.D., or Ph.D.) beyond the bachelor’s degree.
