Through the scientific understanding of human anatomy, kinesiology and biomechanics, our Minor in Human Movement positions students to explore a variety of methods used to assess and maintain healthy movement and prevent disability.
Minor Overview
By pursuing a Minor in Human Movement, you’ll gain a strong foundational understanding of normal human movement as compared to pathological movement across the lifespan. Courses will allow you to develop the early thought processes and disciplinary content necessary for careers in physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, prosthetics and orthotics, biomechanics and kinesiology. This minor serves as an excellent on-ramp to many healthcare career pathways.
