Kinesiology
Dr. Lisa Bjerknes, Director, (650) 508-3491, lbjerknes@ndnu.edu
Kinesiology is the study of human motor performance and those physical activities yielding exercise benefits and/or satisfying a person’s competitive nature. Such study includes an investigation into the nature of motor performance, how it is assessed, what its effects are upon the rest of the system, and how motor performance is learned. The kinesiology curriculum provides the necessary foundation for students who wish to pursue careers in teaching, coaching, or physical therapy, or to continue to graduate school. The Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology is offered by the Natural Sciences Department in cooperation with several other departments within the School of Sciences.
