School of Kinesiology director and professor Beth Lewis, PhD, was recently featured in a U.S. News article titled “What You Can Do With a Kinesiology Degree.” 

The article references a common misconception that a degree in kinesiology inevitably leads to a career in physical therapy. Lewis comments on this topic and states “Though kinesiology bachelor’s degree recipients often go on to physical therapy graduate programs, they can opt to become personal trainers or pursue a Master of Public Health degree. It is also common for individuals with college degrees in kinesiology to pursue graduate education in occupational therapy or a career as a corporate wellness program administrator.”
