B.S. in Kinesiology
The Study of Movement
California State University San Marcos is pleased to announce that we've become a SOCMAR affiliate campus, which will enable our campus to offer the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology degree with an emphasis in Applied Exercise Science onsite at Camp Pendleton!
Kinesiology - the study of movement - comes from the Greek “kinesis” (to move). The current societal concern for the physical well-being of the American population, rekindled by the 2001 Surgeon General’s “Call to Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity,” has sparked renewed interest in the study of physical education and kinesiology. As such, the B.S. in Kinesiology at Cal State San Marcos prepares students for a wide variety of careers in the areas of rehabilitation, wellness, fitness, and education.
