B.S. or B.A. Kinesiology & Physical Education

For students called to the fast-moving and in-demand careers in physical therapy, sport science, or similar fields, the Bachelor’s in Kinesiology offers an established program with an unwavering commitment to academic excellence and biblical truth.

Studying kinesiology and physical education at The Master’s University prepares students to work with the human body as members of the body of Christ. At TMU, professors serve not only in the classroom but also on the field, working as athletic trainers, daily practicing what’s taught in the classroom — using the most innovative knowledge and technology available. Students participate in this practical athletic training with Master’s athletes, as well as take hands-on courses in functional anatomy, corrective exercise, and assessment techniques. Alongside these courses, each student participates in at least one internship before graduation, many of which have led to careers in Allied Health, coaching, firefighting, physical training, teaching, and more.

Since 2007, Kinesiology students have attended over 29 graduate schools including CSU, UCLA, USC; the University of Florida, of Montana, of Nebraska, of New Mexico, of Pittsburg, of South Carolina, of Wisconsin; as well as private and specialized schools including Azusa Pacific, Loma Linda, and Liberty University.

For students pursuing graduate school, TMU’s 95% graduate school acceptance rate means alumni are likely to be accepted to the graduate school of their choice. Graduate programs studied include Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Osteopathic Medicine, Exercise Science, Nursing, and Medical School.

B.S. or B.A. Kinesiology & Physical Education degrees are accredited 4-year undergraduate degree programs offered on-campus in Santa Clarita. Depending on the emphasis, students complete 40 units of General Education (GE), 21 of Bible, 56-73 Major Core Courses, and 0-26 Emphasis/Elective courses.

Since 1927, the mission of The Master’s University is to empower students for a life of enduring commitment to Christ, biblical fidelity, moral integrity, intellectual growth, and lasting contribution to the Kingdom of God worldwide.
