Over 70% of transfer students come from community college programs in Iowa and around the country. So-- from where ever you come, we are glad you have found us and we are ready to meet your needs.

The Kinesiology and Health major is broken down into five areas of specialization which prepare students for a variety of careers in health promotion and medicine. Click on the links below for more information.
