在这里学什么？

Exercise and movement science is one of three undergraduate majors offered in the Department of Kinesiology. The department's mission is to research, teach, and apply knowledge related to movement, exercise, and human occupation with the ultimate goal of enhancing human health, productivity, and quality of life.

Students in the exercise and movement science major take coursework grounded in the basic sciences (e.g., physiology, anatomy, physics) and in kinesiology. Core courses examine, for example, how the body responds to physical activity, the role of physiological and psychological factors in exercise, mechanics applied to biological systems, and how movement is controlled, learned, and developed over the lifespan.

The curriculum includes coursework, laboratory research opportunities, and hands-on learning experiences. In addition, at least 11 credits of electives in exercise and movement science are required, giving students some flexibility to tailor the program to their specific interests.

The exercise and movement science major is a pre-professional program. This means that our students are well prepared for subsequent graduate or professional training in different health-related disciplines such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, medicine, or biomedical research. In addition, the major prepares students for graduate training programs in kinesiology (e.g., exercise physiology, cardiac rehabilitation, biomechanics, physical activity epidemiology, exercise psychology, motor learning). Exercise and movement science graduates may also pursue entry-level careers in the fitness area.

Learning Outcomes

• Knowledge
  • Students will be able to define and explain major concepts across the breadth of kinesiology.
• Application
  • Students will be able to apply their knowledge related to movement and physical activity techniques and approaches in clinical and applied settings to enhance human health and quality of life.
• Critical Thinking
  • Students will demonstrate competence in the scientific research process, which includes the ability to consume, analyze, interpret and critically review scientific literature.
• Communication
  • Students will develop appropriate styles of written and oral communication to use both within and outside of the scientific community.
