The Public Health Science program based at the Universities at Shady Grove, is a science-based program designed specifically for transfer students in their third- and fourth-year. It combines a robust curriculum in the natural sciences with training in the basic fields of public health, including courses in areas such as kinesiology, biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental health, and behavioral and community health.

Our Department's Mission

Kinesiology focuses on the complex role of physical activity in our health and well-being throughout life. Yet, physical activity and sport are more than essential components of maintaining health. Our department explores the historical, cultural, economic, developmental, cognitive, neuromotor and physiological aspects of our engagement in physical activity.
