Introduction
Kinesiology, Health, and Wellness is a collection of courses that emphasize the principles for the growth and development of a healthy lifestyle. Students will acquire the knowledge and understanding of problem-solving strategies of these principles to integrate, apply and promote personal, individual, or group behavior conducive to the maintenance or restoration of mental and physical wellness. This emphasis will provide students with an understanding of physical skills and their development related to physical activity, exercise, and sport. This area of emphasis is designed for students interested in making positive life choices and in the study of health, nutrition, and wellness; physical education/kinesiology; athletic training; sports performance, officiating, and coaching; career planning and life management; and the biology, anatomy, and physiology of the human body. Students who work closely with their counselor may use this area to prepare to transfer to four-year institutions in majors such as Health Science, Nutrition, Physical Education/Kinesiology, Exercise Science, and Recreation and Leisure Studies. Some careers such as Athletic Trainer, Physical Therapist, Exercise Physiologist, Sports Nutritionist, and Physical Education and Health Education teachers may require education beyond the bachelor’s degree.
Kinesiology is the academic discipline concerned with the science of human movement, applying the latest evidence-based research to improve the function, health, and wellness of people in all settings and populations. This major will enhance your physical skills and development in Aquatics, Team Sports, Individual Sports, Fitness, and dance. Students will also be exposed to the history and philosophy of Kinesiology.
