Kinesiology and Life Sciences

The Division of Kinesiology and Life Sciences believes that an educated person is a whole person. We endeavor to instill in each student an understanding of life and an appreciation for living. We want to ensure that our students’ understanding of life is not a substitute for living. To that end, we encourage students to cross disciplinary boundaries, broaden the scope of their studies, and develop as whole persons. The mission of the Division of Kinesiology and Life Sciences, then, is to:

• Develop a scientific learning community that prepares students for life and living in a global
  environment.
• Offer practical experiences and leadership opportunities which prepare students for careers in
  kinesiology, health, and life sciences.
• Develop and maintain rigorous academic programs consistent with recognized professional standards;
  and support and encourage diversity among our students.
