What is a cohort?
A cohort is a group of students who work through a curriculum together to achieve
the same academic degree. Because they are accepted into the same program, take their
classes together and graduate together, students in cohorts tend to form a strong
support system and professional network that benefit them during their degree program
and beyond.
What is the difference between the two kinesiology options: movement science and health
science?
In both programs, you will learn the fundamentals of kinesiology, the science of movement
that integrates the biological, physical, behavioral and social sciences in the study
of physical activity and how that affects people throughout their lives.
Both the movement science and health science options cover topics including movement
