Bachelor in Kinesiology with a Concentration in Exercise Science

Why Study Kinesiology?


Love sport, fitness or helping people heal? Kinesiology has you covered. Kinesiology is the
study of body movement, and it is home to everything associated with moving bodies. With
four majors and six minors, you can gain the skills and education needed to combine your
love of sport, fitness and helping people with healthcare, athletic training, teaching,
coaching and personal training or business to land the job of your dreams. We are one of
the few programs in the state where Athletic Training majors can also compete in
intercollegiate athletics - giving our students a competitive edge. Our Business
Administration/Sport Management majors can work with faculty to custom tailor their
education to match their career goals by adding minors and concentrations. Our exercise
science students get hands on experience with faculty and our large network of successful
alumni who work in the fitness industry. Physical Education Teaching majors benefit from
small classes with state of the art sport and fitness facilities, giving them the best
opportunity for success. No matter your specific major, our Kinesiology department will
prepare you for a successful, rewarding and fulfilling career.

How We're Different

1. Community partnerships, internships, and student teaching provide real-world


application and hands-on learning experience.
2. Four majors and six minors - Athletic Training, Business Administration/Sport
Management, Teaching Physical Education, and Exercise Science majors; and
Allied Health and Sport Science, Athletic Coaching, Exercise Science, Health
Education, and Secondary Teaching (with or without Coaching) minors.
3. The Sturrus Sports & Fitness Center and Alksnis Athletics & Recreation Building,
home to Kinesiology, have classroom and activity space not usually found at schools
our size.
4. Alumni are well placed and respected in their fields, providing students with a
network of contacts for internships and employment.
5. Six months after graduation, most Business Administration/Sport Management and
Athletic Training Aquinas graduates have employment in the field or are enrolled in
graduate school.
6. Student organizations provide community engagement,professional development
and philanthropic activities.
7. Business Administration/Sport Management majors and student clubs raise $5,000+
each year for Grand Rapids area sport related charities.
8. Smaller class sizes than similar-sized schools enhance professor-student
interaction.
9. Athletic Training majors can compete in intercollegiate athletics.
10. Business Administration/Sport Management majors tailor their education and gain
market advantage with minors or concentrations.
