Welcome to the Department of Health and Kinesiology at Texas A&M University!

The College of Education and Human Development at Texas A&M University is now accepting applications for Head of the Department of Health and Kinesiology (HLKN).  The Department of Health and Kinesiology is an ascetically diverse group of scientists and health educators that strive to produce top-notch research in the fields of applied exercise physiology, basic exercise physiology, community health, motor behavior, safety education, school health, sport management, and sports pedagogy.

HLKN has four major divisions, Health Education, Kinesiology, Sport Management, and the Physical Education Activity Program (PEAP). The Divisions of Health Education, Kinesiology and Sport Management house our undergraduate majors programs and graduate programs, and the PEAP offers health and fitness including activity classes that service all Texas A&M students as part of the university core curriculum.

Degrees offered in the Department include the B.S., M.Ed., M.S., Ed.D., and Ph.D. Currently there are approximately 1,800 undergraduate majors and 150 graduate students. There are about 90 faculty and 70 graduate assistants in the Department.  Our departmental courses generate about 125,000 student credit hours each year, which ranks us 2nd in the University.

With outstanding faculty and staff, solid College and University support, and strong extramural support, the Department is well-positioned to continue and enhance its nationally and internationally recognized education and research programs.  The Departmental budget totals over $8 million (excluding grants) with extramural funding of nearly $2,500,000 per year from agencies such as NASA, NIH, CDC, and NSBRI. TAMU is a Research I land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant institution committed to preeminence in teaching, research and service with enrollment of approximately 46,000 students.
