Why Pursue a Kinesiology Degree?

Over the last thirty 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 work to curb the national obesity epidemic, improve human movement function, and meet the needs of aging individuals. This degree is the first step on the pathway for a career in physical therapy.
