Kinesiology refers to "the study of human movement." The current societal concern for the physical well-being of the American population, rekindled by the 2001 Surgeon General's "Call to Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity," has sparked renewed interest in the study of physical education and kinesiology. As such, the B.S. in Kinesiology at Cal State San Marcos prepares students for a wide variety of careers in the areas of rehabilitation, wellness, fitness, and education.

We are one of the fastest growing majors on campus, with over 600 KINE majors across our four options. We are proud of the individualized attention that our students receive, and our students will tell you that this makes our program unique compared to other CSUs. Our 1,400 square foot, state-of-the-art Human Performance Laboratory houses almost $400,000 in new equipment that is used by our students for hypothesis-driven research projects in several upper-division classes. It's a good time to be a Kinesiology major!

Kinesiology is not an "impacted" major at this time.
