The Gerokinesiology and
Clinical Exercise Science Advising
tracks, for students pursuing a Masters of Science in Kinesiology, provide the background knowledge and experience to prepare students to work with the growing population of older adults in a variety of physical activity settings including
personal training, group exercise classes, senior center and residential wellness programs, and in balance and mobility training/rehabilitation programs.
For more information on the Clinical Exercise Science Advisement track for graduate students working toward a Geriatric Pathokinesiology Emphasis, contact the Center for Successful Aging.
