SF State's Kinesiology programs are thoughtfully structured to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of human movement through multiple disciplines. Learners acquire both theoretical insights and hands-on experience covering biological, physical, behavioral, sociocultural, philosophical, and psychological aspects of physical activity. Kinesiology examines these fundamental elements within various skill-based environments, from everyday movements to professional settings, recreational pursuits, athletic performance, and artistic expression. The curriculum explores conditioning, learning, and recovery processes throughout different life stages and among diverse groups. Sports are examined both as personal pursuits and cultural phenomena. Through specialized course clusters, students can customize their education to align with personal interests and professional aspirations.
