BACHELOR’S PROGRAMS
KINESIOLOGY @ CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO
Provides students with a fundamental background in health promotion and disease prevention.
PREPARE FOR A CAREER IN HUMAN MOVEMENT FUNCTION
Over the last 30 years the rates of obesity and chronic disease have been rising rapidly in both adults and children. An undergraduate program in kinesiology will prepare students to help to curb the national obesity epidemic, improve human movement function, and meet the needs of aging individuals.
EXERCISE AND MOVEMENT SCIENCE @ ST. FRANCIS COLLEGE BROOKLYN
Provide students with a well-rounded curriculum covering kinesiology, sports psychology, biomechanics, and the physiology of exercise.
MAXIMIZE ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
The science of health, wellness and sports performance is becoming more important and relevant in our daily lives. At the center of this is exercise and movement science. Exercise scientists work to maximize athletic performance while minimizing injury regardless of sport. Whether you’re interested in traditional sports, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or wellness activities like yoga, a degree in exercise and movement science will separate you from others and put you on a path to helping individuals stay fit, active and healthy.
