The purposes of the Department of Kinesiology are: (1) to provide a comprehensive academic program in health, physical education, and recreation for students who plan to pursue one of these fields as a profession; (2) to provide professional preparation for prospective teachers in the area of health and physical education; (3) to provide a service program which will afford all students the opportunity to learn and participate in a wide range of activities which will benefit them now and in the future; and (4) to educate individuals about risk factors associated with certain lifestyle choices and provide them with the skills to make behavioral changes that will improve their health and the quality of their lives.

The Department offers the Master of Arts (M.A.) and the Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) graduate programs in Health and Physical Education and the Master of Science (M.S.) program in Athletic Training. For complete information about programs and courses leading to these graduate degrees, see The Graduate School .
