Our Mission Statement
There are two primary objectives for the Department:
To introduce the liberal arts student to the potential benefits of a stimulating systematic exercise program and to provide a basis of understanding the physical capabilities and limitations of one’s self. The Department of Kinesiology offers every student an opportunity to participate in a program designed to aid in the development of physical efficiency, healthful living for a lifetime, social cooperation, and individual activity skills for the intelligent and enjoyable use of leisure time.
To provide a broad base of knowledge which will allow a student to specialize in or adapt to various career opportunities: preparation for teaching at the elementary or secondary levels; preparation for coaching at the amateur level including elementary, junior high, and senior high; preparation for graduate study in physical education and/or in the allied health and therapeutic sciences; preparation for a career as an athletic trainer at the secondary, collegiate and/or professional level of athletics; preparation for a career in a variety of physical fitness-related occupations.
