Kinesiology Major—Exercise Science Emphasis

Undergraduate Program On Campus

What You'll Learn

When Calvin exercise science majors talk about their classes, here’s what they say: It’s all about practical experience.

Here, your learning is active. You’ll prescribe exercise and fitness regimens for clients as well as integrate healthy routines into your own daily life. You’ll train in top-notch facilities and work with cutting-edge technology like the “bod pod.” After you’ve studied, trained, and sweat, you’ll graduate with a deep understanding of human health and motion.

By promoting physical activity—one of the most fundamental medicines there is—you’ll restore people to more balanced, healthy lives.
