Overview

You’ll form a solid kinesiology foundation—from the brain and spinal cord to oxygen delivery from the heart and lungs to the muscular forces that propel your body into motion.

Get ready to roll up your sleeves and engage in hands-on learning with real patients as you investigate how movement is impacted by disease, age, injury and other factors.

The Professional Kinesiology Concentration provides exceptional preparation for graduate school in medicine and allied health fields.
