Kinesiology & Health
Chair's Message
School of Education, Health, and Society
Thank you for your interest in Miami University’s Department of Kinesiology and Health (KNH). You will find our department different from many other programs you may be considering.
Departments at other universities also focus on the study of health and physical activity. What sets us apart is our inclusion of societal and cultural forces that affect health and performance as well as our emphasis on undergraduate education. While we offer two highly regarded master’s programs, the vast number of our students are undergraduates. That means that even as a first-year student you will have the opportunity to be taught by and work alongside faculty who are renowned teachers and scholars with international reputations.
Furthermore, Phillips Hall, our headquarters, recently underwent a multi-million dollar renovation, and we now enjoy state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratory facilities.
I hope you will visit us to see and meet our faculty and students. In the meantime please explore our site to learn more about our programs.
