Humboldt provides students with three state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, including the human performance, biomechanics, and behavioral performance labs. In addition, our facilities include a natatorium, two gymnasiums, a dance studio, an all-weather track and field, cross-country trails, stadium, and two playing fields round out the facilities. Students develop their skills through fieldwork and practicum experiences in addition to their academic coursework.
Students who wish to earn both a B.S. and M.S. in Kinesiology, may be interested in the Kinesiology Four Plus One (4+1) Program. The 4+1 program allows students with the necessary academic skills and who demonstrate exceptional promise for advanced study, to complete the degree requirements for the bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in 5 years. For additional information see Kinesiology, M.S. or visit the School of Applied Health website.
High school students should take the college preparatory program plus biology, math, anatomy, and physiology. Participation in intercollegiate sports, physical activities, and a computer course are encouraged. The Exercise Science Concentration will prepare students for careers in adult fitness; cardiac rehabilitation; strength and conditioning; corporate, community, and commercial health/ fitness programs; and for graduate study in exercise science/exercise physiology. The curriculum also helps to prepare students to sit for recognized professional certification examinations offered by the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
