You can focus your study on health and wellness or sports medicine. The course requirements are tailored to each emphasis, so students are prepared for their field of choice.
JBU lab classes are capped to 20 students so professors can give student-specific guidance and recommendations.
Students interested in the pre-professional program can explore the inner workings of the human body in the classroom and in the human anatomy cadaver lab. JBU is one of only two Arkansas universities that make cadaver dissection available to undergraduate students.
On my first day of college, I nervously entered the classroom unsure of what I was about to walk into. The not-so-scary professor, Todd, began class by telling us that the most important thing we could learn studying kinesiology is that ‘we treat people, not injuries.’ From that day on, my mindset changed. At JBU, yes, I have learned how to treat injuries, but most importantly, I have learned how to help people holistically.
