The Faculty are there to help develop knowledge, understanding and skill to the best of their students ability. The broad spectrum reflects the interest of the Department and the College to offer a full choice of skills to learn. Not only does the Kinesiology Department offer a broad spectrum of activities, we also offer students with the opportunity to take a skill and go into some depth. Intermediate courses and beyond are offered in a number of skills classes. The continued development of the physical activity program is a responsible, necessary, and vital part of the central mission of the College.
Human movement is important to the physical, emotional and mental development of the young adult.
College students develop, learn, and respond in unique ways through human movement activities. Recognition of the merit and meaning of human movement is realized by the changing needs and interests of both the students and the college community. The current research makes a clear statement of the value of physical activity in the relief of tension, as a means of self expression, in enhancing self concept, a maintaining cardiovascular and respiritory integrity. The physical activity program is one that encourages students to strive for personal fulfillment through physical challenges. The activity program is a source of pride and accomplishment, for students and faculty.
