Kinesiology is the study of human movement. Studying Kinesiology at Alverno College prepares students to improve health outcomes. First, students will complete core work in the sciences and humanities. Then, students will focus in on examining how the body can function better, which is excellent preparation for pursuing a doctoral degree in physical therapy.
You’ll have access to many potential internship and job sites, including hospitals and health care organizations, major corporations, health-related nonprofit organizations, minor and major league sports organizations, and more. Alverno’s Internship Office is connected to more than 2,000 partner sites and can help you find the right opportunity to advance your personal and professional goals.
