The Department of Kinesiology shares the University vision to be the premier learning community in Michigan and one of the best in the nation. In concert with the College of Health & Human Services, we are dedicated to fostering a dynamic community of lifelong learners, skilled practitioners, and dedicated leaders. The department is committed to the creation, enhancement, and dissemination of knowledge in the fields of athletic training and exercise science. As agents of change, we strive to fulfill this commitment through exemplary scholarship, creative endeavors, teaching, technological involvement and service. In this pursuit, we encourage academic excellence; the integration of academic disciplines, and quest for social justice based on a knowledge and appreciation of human diversity.
The Department of Kinesiology has state-of-the-art facilities within the Ryder Center that include classrooms, natatorium, fitness center/weight room, athletic training/rehabilitation center, and human performance laboratory. The College of Health and Human Services is currently in the planning phase for a new Health and Human Services Building that will house the departments of kinesiology, occupational therapy, health science, nursing, and social work. This new facility will include new athletic training and exercise science laboratories and classrooms. Our top-notch faculty, innovative curriculum, state-of-the-art facilities, and outstanding on/off campus clinical experiences create a learning environment that leads to the successful development of our students.
The Department of Kinesiology offers two majors: Athletic Training and Exercise Science. The Athletic Training Education Program is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). The Exercise Science (ES) major is built upon the outcomes of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
