Program Description
Kinesiology is the disciplinary study of humans as they participate in physical activity. Professional applications offered by the department include Pre-Athletic Training, Exercise Nutrition and Wellness, Physical Education Teaching, and Pre-Physical Therapy.
The purposes of the Department of Kinesiology are (1) to provide an opportunity for students to study the discipline of Kinesiology; and (2) to provide opportunities for learning and participation in a wide variety of motor activities. Such study includes an investigation into the nature of motor performance, how it is assessed, what its effects are upon the rest of human bodily systems, and how motor performance is learned. It also involves an investigation of the historical, cultural, philosophical, psychological, and social factors which result from and influence play, games, and sports.
The department's program also offers courses appropriate to the general education curriculum of the university in the humanities, social sciences, sciences, and life-long learning. It provides the necessary foundation for students who wish to continue their own personal lifelong activities.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students graduating with a B.S. in Kinesiology from Cal State East Bay will attempt to achieve the following learning outcomes:
- Content Knowledge. Students will demonstrate foundational knowledge and skills related to physical activity, exercise, and sport and have the ability to integrate perspectives from humanities and social, behavioral, and life sciences.
- Practical Assessment. Students will be able to apply content knowledge to design and evaluate within disciplinary practice.
- Critical Thinking and Communication Skills. Students will demonstrate critical thinking, writing, reading, oral communication, and information management skills to physical activity related questions.
- Professionalism and Ethics. Students will demonstrate professional dispositions and will be committed to social justice for physical activity participants.
- Commitment to Life-Long Physical Activity. Students will be able to articulate the importance of a commitment to life-long physical activity.

Features
Many of the facilities are open to the campus community when not being used for classes. These may include swimming pools, tennis courts, handball courts, fitness center, the gymnasium, and outdoor fields.
Students enrolled in the intercollegiate athletic programs have the opportunity to engage in numerous field trips throughout California and, in some cases, in neighboring states. The intercollegiate athletic program includes: basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, and track for men and women; baseball for men; and softball, swimming, volleyball, and water polo for women.
There is one scholarship housed within the Department of Kinesiology. Recipients of the Joe Morgan Scholarship, named for the Hall of Fame baseball player who is a Cal State East Bay graduate, are identified each Winter with the award(s) applying to the subsequent year. The amount of the Joe Morgan award varies and multiple awards may be given.
