Kinesiology - Pre-Physical Therapy

Overview

For those who have physical limitations – either through an accident or illness – physical therapists are life savers who help them learn how to move again. The study of the human body in motion, kinesiology is the basis of careers in physical movement and the beginning of your career in physical therapy.

• Professors with more than 20 years of experience and knowledge in the kinesiology field
• Excellent ratio of acceptance for graduate students
• Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art labs and equipment

Career Outlook 

Because your study of kinesiology includes more than 120 credit hours that cover all aspects of human motion – from clinical exercise physiology and orthopedic evaluations to neuromuscular and muscular physiology,  you’ll graduate with hours of practical experience to make you stand out as a candidate for graduate schools, including at Anderson University (South Carolina)’s School of Physical Therapy, University of South Carolina, the Medical University of South Carolina, Elon University, East Carolina University, University of North Georgia, High Point University, Western North Carolina University and others. You’ll have experience critiquing movement patterns and analyzing gait, evaluating and performing injury assessments and orthopedic tests, while also receiving training on the soft skills needed in the field such as patient/client interaction, listening, and critical thinking.
