If you enjoy physical activity, learning about how we move and hands-on learning experiences, kinesiology is the major for you.
Kinesiology studies the mechanics of human movement and how they impact our health and wellbeing. The curriculum includes courses in exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor control, motor development and sport and exercise psychology. Students will choose five advanced courses based on their interests to develop their knowledge further. Students also have the opportunity to work with a professor to conduct research in a specific area of kinesiology.
Students in this major can pursue optional concentrations in clinical exercise physiology, sports medicine and sport management.
US universities use a holistic admissions review. Beyond grades and standardized test scores, they weigh the strength of your overall profile to understand who you are as a student and a person.
Profile Assessment: Applicants are generally expected to show strong preparation in Biology and Chemistry, with Mathematics or Physics helpful for some programs. Healthcare volunteering, public-health initiatives, scientific research, first-aid training, community service and supervised clinical exposure may demonstrate empathy, responsibility and understanding of healthcare. Requirements differ considerably by program, particularly for direct-entry Nursing, Pharmacy and allied-health degrees.Advanced Placement(AP) Guidance: AP availability depends on the student's school. Relevant APs can strengthen an application and may earn university credit, but are not compulsory unless the university or programme explicitly requires them.Essays & recommendations: Personal essays and teacher/counselor recommendations give context to your achievements and help demonstrate fit with the program.Sports InstructorPersonal TrainerHealth Promotion SpecialistFitness Specialist
