Physical activity and movement are fundamental to human vitality, growth, development and maturation. Movement, in its various forms, provides meaningful experiences for individuals and has significance for their societies. The California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) provides direction and guidance for these activities and their organizational forms through general education, core and specialized areas, service, and research toward the end of developing students who will make constructive changes in an ever evolving field of Kinesiology.
