Department of Kinesiology

Kinesiology refers to "the study of human movement." Graduates from CSUSM’s Kinesiology programs can pursue careers in exercise physiology, personal/athletic training, research, health education, and more. We offer the following programs at CSUSM:

• B.S. in Kinesiology: prepares students for a wide variety of careers in the areas of rehabilitation, wellness, fitness, public health, and education.
• M.S. in Kinesiology: provides education and training for careers requiring an advanced degree, as well as preparation for doctoral study.
• Physical Education Minor: if you are pursuing a career as a health or physical educator, or perhaps interested in becoming a personal trainer or coach, you may want to consider adding this minor to your degree. Please contact Dr. Stuhr (pstuhr@csusm.edu) with all inquiries

The department of Kinesiology is a member of the American Kinesiology Association.
