Kinesiology (STEM), M.S. Avila University

Program Description

Kinesiology is the study of human movement and the body’s response to physical inactivity and exercise. Relevant subdisciplines featured in the program include: exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor behavior, and sports psychology.The major also prepares students to apply to graduate programs in the areas of sport and exercise science, athletic training, physical therapy, occupational therapy, or physical and health education. “This program itself meets Title IV requirements in Missouri and varies state to state outside of Missouri to allow a student to sit for the licensure exam. The program itself is not a licensure program but prepares you to sit for the necessary exam.” When you’re ready to take the next step in your career, Avila’s Kinesiology M.S. graduate program will prepare you to become a clinical leader in kinesiology, exercise science, strength and conditioning, and performance training. A Master’s of Science in Kinesiology is available to undergraduate students through either a 4 + 1 (undergraduate + graduate) program or in a traditional two-year path.
