| Program Description |
Kinesiology is the disciplinary study of humans as they participate in sport- and exercise-related activities yielding exercise benefits and/or satisfying a person's competitive nature. Physical Education is one professional application of the study of Kinesiology that provides the individual with the skills, techniques and knowledge necessary for successful and enjoyable participation in sport and exercise. Other professional applications offered by the department include Pre-Athletic Training, Exercise Nutrition and Wellness, Physical Education Teaching, and Pre-Physical Therapy.
The purposes of the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education are (1) to provide opportunities for learning and participation in a wide variety of motor activities at all levels, from beginning instruction through intercollegiate competition; and (2) to provide an opportunity for students to study the discipline of Kinesiology. Such study includes an investigation into the nature of motor performance, how it is assessed, what its effects are upon the rest of human bodily systems, and how motor performance is learned. It also involves an investigation of the historical, cultural, philosophical, psychological, and social factors which result from and influence play, games, and sports.
The department's program offers courses appropriate to the general education curriculum of the university. It provides the necessary foundation for students who wish to continue their own personal lifelong activities. It includes the application of knowledge acquired in the study of the discipline to such professional fields as teaching, coaching, and physical therapy, and to graduate study.
The degree program in Kinesiology provides students with academic, as well as experiential learning opportunities. Students' understanding and appreciation of kinesiological phenomena are enhanced when they take an active role in participating in sport- and exercise-related activities.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students graduating with a B.S. in Kinesiology from Cal State East Bay will: 1) demonstrate knowledge of, and skill in, a broad variety of motor skill and fitness activities; 2) understand the biological and physical bases of human movement with an emphasis on sport and exercise phenomenon; 3) understand the behavioral and psychological bases of human movement with an emphasis on sport and exercise phenomenon; 4) understand the sociocultural, historical, and philosophical perspectives of human movement with an emphasis on sport and exercise phenomenon; 5) understand how motor skills are acquired and refined; 6) understand developmental basis of human movement with an emphasis on sport and exercise phenomenon; 7) use and apply measurement instruments and principles for qualitative and quantitative assessment of human movement with an emphasis on sport and exercise phenomenon; 8) apply critical thinking, writing, reading, oral communication, quantitative and qualitative analysis and information management skills to movement related questions; 9) use the computer and other technology to support inquiry and professional practice in movement related fields; 10) understand the scientific method and other systematic ways of knowing relative to research and scholarship in human movement with emphasis on sport and exercise phenomenon; 11) demonstrate ability to integrate multidisciplinary knowledge bases of Kinesiology in an applied, problem-solving context; and 12) be familiar with standards, ethics, and expectations of professional communities related to human movement with emphasis on sport and exercise phenomenon.

| Features |
Many of the physical education facilities are open to the campus community when not being used for classes. These may include swimming pools, tennis courts, handball courts, fitness center, the gymnasium, and outdoor fields.
Students enrolled in the department's fifteen intercollegiate athletic programs have the opportunity to engage in numerous field trips throughout California and, in some cases, in neighboring states. As a member of the California Pacific Conference (CPC), students travel to compete against other CPC institutions. The intercollegiate athletic program includes: basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, and track for men and women; baseball for men; and softball, swimming, volleyball, and water polo for women.
There is one scholarship housed within the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education. Recipients of the Joe Morgan Scholarship, named for the Hall of Fame baseball player who is a Cal State East Bay graduate, are identified each Winter with the award(s) applying to the subsequent year. The amount of the Joe Morgan award varies and multiple awards may be given.
