Associate Dean’s Blog


The first time I heard the word, “kinesiology”, was when my college roommate told me that it was her major. She was a dancer and very athletic. Now she is a high school P.E. and English teacher. I won’t tell you how long she has been teaching and coaching, but I remember envying her as she wore tights and ballet slippers to class!

These days there is a special camaraderie among kinesiology and nursing students at the Cal State San Marcos at Temecula campus whether they are in nursing uniforms, jeans, gym shorts or sweat shirts. They are part of a cohort or group of students who attend every class together throughout their two years with us. They form study groups and build tight support networks. They are among the lucky ones.  We have a 95% graduation rate. Students graduate on time and on budget!
  


Bachelor of Science in kinesiology students at CSUSM at Temecula know their graduation date from the moment they enter the program; they have guaranteed seats in their classes and locked tuition from the date of entry to date of graduation.

They look forward to careers as athletic trainers, cardiac rehabilitation specialists, school or college coaches, directors of youth campus/sport programs, exercise physiologists, fitness instructors, medical doctors, occupational therapists, personal trainers, physical education teachers, physical therapists, physician’s assistants, recreational therapists, registered nurses, respiration therapists, sport management and strength and conditioning coaches and other related health care careers.
