Kinesiology
Studying Kinesiology at DePauw
A background in kinesiology can take you many places: from physical therapy to athletic coaching, from personal training to corporate wellness, from advanced research to exercise technology. Through an instructional approach that integrates scientific rigor with practical application, this versatile course of study provides an extensive understanding of human movement, all within the context of a strong liberal arts education.
Kinesiology courses at DePauw will establish a broad foundation of general knowledge while exposing you to numerous subdisciplines and areas of specialization, including human physiology and exercise, biomechanics of human movement, neuromotor control of human movement and nutrition and human performance. The courses also provide you with hands-on experiences in the laboratory and access to a diverse set of equipment that is seldom seen at undergraduate institutions. Along the way, you will enjoy close collaboration with faculty as well as opportunities for exciting internships and life-changing study abroad experiences.
Not only am I learning how to conduct research, but I’m getting a head start on my senior thesis, and it will all help with grad school.
