A degree in kinesiology and health sciences prepares students to pursue careers that utilize exercise interventions for both healthy and diseased populations.

Our programs are also designed for students who wish to enter a health care-related field that does not require licensure, certification or registry status. We offer bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees, along with two academic certificates.
