Careers
Majors in Kinesiology are prepared to work in many areas relating to human movement. Each track directs students’ focus toward a particular area of study (Biomechanics, Ergonomics, Exercise Physiology, Motor Control, Sport Psychology, or Sport and Coaching Science). Students pursuing the M.S. are well prepared for positions in academic research labs, clinical/rehabilitation settings, private industry, as well as coaching at any level (up to and including professional athletes/teams). Career opportunities can also include research and development of equipment used in the sports industry, research labs, and clinical settings. The M.S. also serves as preparation for pursuing Ph.D. programs.
