Course Descriptions
PURPOSES
AND GOALS
Kinesiology is
the study of human movement and all its manifestations. Liberally educated
people must understand and appreciate the importance of movement to their
quality of life. Toward this end, the department provides a program which
serves the University Wellness Requirement, a comprehensive major with
emphases in Early Childhood through Adolescence (formerly grades K-12)
teaching, exercise management, exercise science, athletic training,
standard majors in movement science and Early Childhood through Early
Adolescence (formerly grades K-9) teaching, minors in science of coaching,
adaptive physical education, kinesiology, and 20 intercollegiate sports.
Through a
17-credit Core and related emphasis areas, the Department seeks to develop
in its majors an understanding of human movement and an appreciation of
the scientific principles of the field of Kinesiology. All the programs of
the Department are designed to stimulate intellectual development, instill
leadership qualities, and promote service to others.
