The divisions of Health Education, Kinesiology and Sport Management house our undergraduate and graduate programs that include athletic training, applied exercise physiology, basic exercise physiology, community health, motor behavior, safety education, school health, sport management, and sports pedagogy. The Physical Education Activity Program offers health and fitness activity classes that service all Texas A&M students as part of the university core curriculum.

Our departmental courses generate over 150,000 weighted student credit hours each year, which ranks us third at Texas A&M.
