Kinesiology is the study of the art and science of human movement. The mission of the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire is to foster purposeful learning in the science, application, and principles of Kinesiology to understand the full nature of human movement across the lifespan. We live and promote this mission by developing and preparing transformative learners to lead others in the achievement of a healthy, physically active lifestyle, and an enhanced quality of life.
Toward this end, the department offers majors in Rehabilitation Science, Exercise Science, and Physical Education Teaching, K-12. Minors are offered in the Science of Coaching, Adaptive Physical Education, and Kinesiology.
All the programs in the department are designed to stimulate intellectual development, instill leadership qualities, and promote service to others.
A number of required courses within the majors and minors may undergo revision. Course information is therefore subject to change. See your academic advisor for additional information on how these changes may affect your individual plan of study.
Some courses require a special fee because of the nature of the activity or supplies required to complete the course. Current special course fees are shown in the Class Schedule.
Department programs may be limited by resources available. All new students are strongly encouraged to contact their assigned academic advisor early in the semester to develop their four-year plan and explore opportunities that will enhance their academic preparation.
