Kinesiology and Health Career Paths

Career Engagement

A degree in Kinesiology and Health (KHE) opens doors for a wide variety of rewarding careers. Many graduates become entrepreneurs, pursue careers in education, or move into sport management. Others become fitness instructors and personal trainers, helping clients to maximize workouts, meet fitness goals, and improve their overall health and well-being. Many of our alumni go to graduate school in order to pursue careers in healthcare.
