Department of Kinesiology

Breadcrumb

Whether your interest is physical therapy, nutrition counseling, or coaching, Kinesiology—one of the most popular majors on the Whittier College campus—delivers critical training for some of the most in-demand professions today.

Kinesiology (KNS) has an outstanding undergraduate program that continuously challenges students to make connections between theoretical frameworks and practical applications in the study of human movement and exercise science.

Our dynamic faculty is dedicated to teaching and engaging students in the learning process both in and out of the classroom. KNS professors know that a critical component to the ultimate success of their students is actual hands-on experience. As such, KNS students are just as likely to find themselves in the classroom or sports lab as they are teaching a P.E. class at a nearby elementary or interning at a local sports franchise.
