The Health and Human Performance department Texas A&M University-Commerce
is well on it's way to becoming the premiere kinesiology department in the
A&M System.
Kinesiology is the fastest growing major in the nation,
and we've moved beyond training teachers and coaches, although we still
do that. Our department is a microcosm of the entire university. We have scientists
here. We have
people in business here. We teach classes in marketing,
finance. We had the humanities here. We have historians. We have
philosophers and so we're just so diverse that it's just fun to come to work every
day. We attract lot a different
types of students. We're taking students abroad to study
so they're learning how to produce and disseminate quality, relevant
research, even at the undergraduate level.
They're engaging with diverse communities and in global settings and
they're applying the knowledge that they get in real-world experiences. We have
students do everything from drawing blood in the physiology lab
to feeding the homeless in Dallas.
