Kinesiology is the study of human movement and the science of helping people live healthier, more active lives. Through this program, students explore how the body moves, performs, and responds to exercise while building a strong foundation in health, wellness, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. Whether your goal is to work in fitness and recreation, serve your community in a public health role, or transfer to a university to pursue careers such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, or other health-related professions, the Kinesiology program provides the knowledge and skills to turn your passion for helping others into a meaningful career.
Many careers require education beyond the associate degree. Students should work with their advisor to tailor course selections to align with their chosen transfer university. The transfer plan on this page shows a tailored example for a university commonly chosen by Lee College students. However, students may choose to continue their education at any university.
