INTERNSHIPS

In addition to multiple laboratory courses, it is essential for our students to gain hands-on experience through a variety of internship opportunities. Visit our internship page for more information.

RESEARCH

We’re committed to student-faculty collaborative research and scholarly projects. Each year dozens of kinesiology faculty members work alongside students to pursue original research that adds to the body of knowledge in a variety of academic fields. Hands-on research is so valuable that our exercise science majors are required to collaborate with faculty on a senior capstone project. We encourage you to take a look at some of the most recent kinesiology research projects.
