Associate of Arts - Kinesiology

Kinesiology is the study of movement as it relates to physical activity, health, disease prevention, exercise, and sport. Kinesiology majors are grounded in an interdisciplinary body of knowledge which encompasses the biological, psychological, physical, and social sciences.  They use this knowledge to understand how the human body responds to movement, exercise, exercise training, and overall fitness.  Employment opportunities include health care, coaching, sports officiating, athletic training, and education.  A baccalaureate degree in Kinesiology can serve as the foundation to Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, or medical school.
