Welcome

The Kinesiology Department is housed in the Ganus Athletic Center. The programs in physical education, exercise science, athletic training and sports management provide our students with discipline specific knowledge, skill practice and professional experience via classroom instruction, laboratory experimentation and student teaching or internship capstone experiences necessary for professional careers or advanced graduate studies. The department fosters the development of spiritual, physical, social, emotional, clinical and culturally diverse skills to enhance the human behavior and well being of all populations.

The mission of the Department of Kinesiology is to prepare Christian professionals for careers in teaching, coaching, sports-related business and science-related areas of kinesiology.

The department offers Bachelor of Arts degrees in kinesiology (non-licensure) and sports management, and the Bachelor of Science degrees in athletic training, exercise science and kinesiology licensure. The kinesiology licensure major prepares students to teach health and physical education and coach in elementary and secondary schools. The non-licensure, sports management, exercise science, and athletic training majors prepare students for careers other than teaching.

Minors are offered in kinesiology, health, recreation and personal training and coaching. The coaching minor prepares a student to sit for the Praxis II coaching test. Also, a coaching endorsement/licensure is available.
