BS(Hons) Kinesiology — Exercise Science Specialization

... United States
... Western Washington University

Course Overview

This major provides a concentrated study of human movement from mechanical, physiological and pathological perspectives. The program is appropriate for students who plan to work in the fitness/exercise industry or any other field such as coaching or rehabilitation, where human movement and exercise prescription are the focus. Additionally, this degree can serve as the gateway degree to the allied health professions or preparation for post-baccalaureate study in other areas such as exercise physiology, health/ fitness, biomechanics, nutrition, and human growth and motor development. Supporting courses from biology, chemistry, computer science, communication studies, health education and physics are included to provide more in-depth analysis of principles associated with human structure and function.

Why Consider an Exercise Science Specialization in Kinesiology Major?

The exercise science specialization is recommended for students who wish to pursue a variety of career opportunities related to kinesiology (see sample career list). Students should seek advising to determine the appropriate set of courses leading to a specialized emphasis.

The Kinesiology major is in very high demand at Western. Prior to declaring the major, WWU students are strongly urged to obtain and utilize advising information from the Kinesiology program web page, or the HHD Advisor Jen Leita (contact information below), to know what classes are recommended to be taken to prepare for the major.
