Careers in Kinesiology Many students enter graduate and professional schools to prepare for careers in dietetics, physical therapy, pharmacy, medicine, bio mechanics, exercise physiology, sport psychology, sport sociology, and other related fields. Countless studies have concluded that a college degree in any major is an asset in many ways later in life. Most of the degrees offered in the College of Arts and Sciences are not designed to lead to a specific employment opportunity but rather to provide a well-rounded education and to develop the basic knowledge and skills inherent in almost any occupation. One of the requirements of a liberal arts degree is a concentration of work in one specific area known as a major. In most cases students naturally select an area of interest in which to major which will lead to related employment in the future. Thus the question, what can I do with a degree in Kinesiology? Graduates may seek careers in the following occupations and Kinesiology-related fields. Certainly, many of these would require additional undergraduate and/or graduate work but this is true of most degrees in Arts and Sciences. This list is not intended to be exhaustive or complete.
