Program of Study
Kinesiology, the study of human movement, integrates the biological, physical, behavioral and social sciences in the study of physical activity and sport, and their effect on fitness and quality of life of people across the lifespan. The Kinesiology program at California State University San Marcos is a comprehensive program of study offered in support of the Surgeon General’s “Call to Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity,” and Healthy People 2020.
Program Student Learning Outcomes
Students who graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology will:
- Apply the scientific process in exercise physiology.
- Design and instruct appropriate content and teaching progressions related to human movement concepts and skill themes.
- Design exercises to improve strength and flexibility.
- Explain application of motor control and motor learning concepts.
Career and Educational Opportunities
The Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology is intended to prepare students for careers in areas such as physical education, exercise physiology, rehabilitation, athletic training, corporate wellness, coaching, wellness coaching, and personal training. With an emphasis on rehabilitation and chronic disease, the major is also excellent preparation for those wishing to pursue advanced degrees in physical education, kinesiology, medicine, physical/occupational therapy, nursing, public health, and more.
