Ready to turn your passion for health, fitness, and human movement into a career? ๐Ÿ’ช

Briar Cliffโ€™s Human Performance major gives students hands-on experience studying how the body responds to exercise while building the knowledge and skills needed to help others live healthier, more active lives.

Students gain real-world experience, work with industry-standard equipment and technology, and develop practical skills that can prepare them for careers in strength and conditioning, personal training, exercise physiology, coaching, wellness, and more.

Turn your passion for movement into a career that makes an impact.

Curious about how the human body moves, performs, and responds to exercise? Briar Cliff Universityโ€™s Kinesiology major might be the perfect fit for you! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

Our Kinesiology students combine classroom learning with hands-on experiences in anatomy, physiology, exercise science, psychology, nutrition, and more. Students complete at least 150 hours of experiential learning through practicums and internships and gain experience using industry-standard equipment in small lab classes.

The program also prepares students for graduate study in health care, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, chiropractic, and other health professions.

And one of the highlights? Every Kinesiology student takes Advanced Anatomy Lab, a full-semester human dissection experience that provides an incredible foundation for future health care education. ๐Ÿซ€๐Ÿฆด

Learn the science. Gain the experience. Prepare for whatโ€™s next. ๐ŸŽ“
