Hey everyone, I'm really passionate about sports and how the human body works, and I'm determined to pursue a career in kinesiology. Can anyone point me toward any HBCUs that have strong kinesiology programs? Bonus points if the school has solid connections with sports teams or related internships.
Hello! That's a fantastic area of study. My child had a similar interest and we did some research together on HBCUs offering robust programs. Howard University’s program stands out due to its comprehensive curriculum and its strong associations with sports and internships. Their Human Performance and Leisure Studies department is quite notable, and their location in D.C. offers a variety of internship opportunities with professional sports teams and organizations. Another HBCU you may want to consider is Florida A&M University, which has a dedicated College of Health and Physical Activity. Its location in Florida provides a rich environment for sports-related internships as well. Don't forget to reach out to the departments directly to ask about their connections and how they support students in finding internships. Internship experience can be invaluable in this field, so it's wise you're considering it in your decision-making process. Wishing you the best in your search and future studies!
