What is Kinesiology all about?
Study of human movementCombines biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, sociology, health, and education
Subdisciplines & CareersThe next slides present the major subdisciplines in the field of Kinesiology followed by possible career choicesThe program at CSUSM may not include in-depth study in each of these areas so we recommend contacting a faculty advisor if you have questions• For example, we do not have programs that lead directly to
Athletic Training or Registered Dietitian Certifications although many of our students pursue these in graduate school.
