CAREERS IN KINESIOLOGY

ThecurriculumoftheKinesiologyMajorpermitsstudentstopursueavarietyofcareersrelatedtosport,physicalactivityandhumanmovement.

Many of ourmajors are interested in careers related to fitness (personal training, corporate fitness, performancetraining,conditioning,wellness,athleticdirector)andmedicalfields(physician,physicianassistant,physicaltherapy,occupationaltherapy,athletictraining,chiropractic,cardiacrehabilitation,motordevelopment,biomedicalandotherresearchspecializations).

Otherstudentsareinterestedinsports-relatedcareers(sportpsychology,sportphysiology,sporthistory,sportsociology,sportmanagement,publicrelationsandsportjournalism).
