Kinesiology refers to "the study of human movement." The increasing societal concern for the physical well-being of the American population 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.

We are one of the fastest growing majors on campus, with over 700 Kinesiology and Pre-Kinesiology majors across our four options, and with another 60 students served at the Temecula campus in the Health Science option. We are committed, however, to providing our students individualized attention by keeping class size under 35 students. Our state-of-the-art Human Performance, Biomechanics, LIMB, and Bone Research Laboratories house state-of-the-art equipment, used side-by-side by our faculty and students for hypothesis-driven research projects in several upper-division classes. It's a good time to be a Kinesiology major!
