Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology

The Department of Natural Sciences offers a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, in cooperation with other departments within the College of Arts and Sciences. Courses within the Kinesiology program challenge students to assess the various aspects of human movement and to learn techniques to optimally preserve that movement. The program prepares graduates for careers as teachers, coaches, physical therapists, as well as for graduate studies.

See the NDNU General Catalog for the program requirements and course descriptions. For Kinesiology curriculum map, click here.
