University of Illinois -Chicago
Do you find yourself wondering how an elite athlete fine-tunes their performance? Curious how someone recovers from an injury to get back on the field? Are you passionate about health and exercise? If you’re interested in the relationship between a fit, strong body and quality of life—in everyone from high-performance athletes to people living with disabilities or disease—kinesiology is the field for you. UIC’s Bachelor of Science in kinesiology focuses on the study of human movement from the cellular level to the whole body. Through courses in anatomy and physiology, exercise psychology, biomechanics and aging, you’ll explore all aspects of physical activity. Kinesiology courses are taught by nationally and globally recognized leaders in their areas of teaching, research, and service who emphasize translating science into practice through hands-on learning, independent study, and internship experiences. Graduates move on to graduate or professional training and careers in areas such as medicine, health promotion, worksite wellness, research, occupational therapy, physical therapy, dentistry, pharmacy, personal training, health-related businesses, and other health-related opportunities.
