Overview

The Kinesiology Program offered by the California State University San Marcos will prepare graduates to enter careers requiring a Master’s Degree or initiate doctoral study in Allied Health (e.g. Physical Therapy), Exercise Physiology, Biomechanics, or other related fields. Led by top-notch faculty, students will actively participate in hands-on learning in the classroom and laboratory. The program requires students to complete a thesis and is designed to strengthen the breadth and depth of students’ content knowledge and applied skills in Kinesiology and its sub-disciplines.

Graduates will be prepared for work in various fields including worksite health promotion, clinical exercise physiology, cardiac rehabilitation, commercial fitness, public/private or non-profit health agencies, chronic disease prevention in community settings, teaching/coaching at the community college level, independent research in the field of specialization, or continued graduate study at doctoral-granting institutions.

Faculty in the Department of Kinesiology at CSU San Marcos are innovative, productive scholars dedicated to student-centered instruction as well as scientific investigation in many fields. Our state-of-the-art laboratories maintain the equipment needed to conduct innovative research. The faculty consists of experts in exercise physiology, motor control and learning, biomechanics, physical education, and public health. Overall, this program will produce graduates who are independent learners prepared to initiate doctoral study, seek careers in health care or health and fitness, and become leaders in addressing health outcomes in the North San Diego County region.
