Movement Science Major
The Movement Science (MOVESCI) major strives to fully develop the intellectual abilities of each student during their learning experiences in the School of Kinesiology. The program emphasizes the study of human movement from biological and behavioral perspectives across the lifespan. The Movement Science Department achieves their mission by offering a diversified program that includes introductory and advanced course work, research, and laboratory experiences. Success is evaluated by the academic and professional placement of graduates.
Overview
The Movement Science major comprises coursework that emphasizes the causes and consequences of human movement from biomechanical, motor control, and development and physiological perspectives. The requirements include courses both in and outside of Kinesiology.
The Movement Science curriculum emphasizes competencies in four areas:
- Three areas of Movement Science: Biomechanics, Motor Control, and Exercise Physiology
- Research
- Scientific communication, including written and graphic skills
- Computer literacy
Students will gain these competencies by mastering concepts in courses, by exposure to research in laboratory sections of courses, and in independent study and research courses.

The Movement Science Honors Program
The Movement Science honors program in Kinesiology offers qualified students advanced coursework and independent research opportunities in exercise physiology, biomechanics, and motor control and development. Students with strong intellectual interests and the commitment to pursue those interests in a rigorous and challenging environment are eligible for the Movement Science honors program.
Honors students are expected to pursue a rigorous and diversified course of study. Students must complete the regular Movement Science curriculum as well as advanced coursework, independent study, and a thesis during the senior year. Students must maintain a 3.5 GPA throughout the program. Each April, a subcommittee of the Movement Science faculty will review each student’s academic record and recommend continuation or termination.
Admission to the Movement Science Honors Program
The School of Kinesiology is committed to achieving an Honors student body characterized by ethnic and racial diversity as well as gender balance.
Following review of applications for admission to the School of Kinesiology, qualified students will be invited to enter the Honors Program. These invitations are based on evidence of exceptional scholarly ability and motivation. Admission decisions will be based on the following:
- High school GPA (suitably adjusted for the difficulty of work elected - typically above 3.8)
- Class standing
specific questions to be answered or hypotheses to be tested, the methods to be used, the potential results of the student’s proposed research, and a bibliography. The proposal must include the signature of the faculty mentor indicating support of the proposal. It is highly recommended that students arrange to start doing honors thesis research during the spring and/or summer semesters between their junior and senior years. Typically, financial support will be sought from the faculty mentor. In some instances, some financial support may be available from other sources.
Senior Honors Thesis - MOVESCI 490-491 (5 credits). The honors thesis is due three weeks before the end of the winter semester. In March of each academic year, students will make oral presentations of their thesis work in a Division-wide forum, to be arranged with their thesis advisors. While there is no set length requirement, the honors thesis is expected to reflect a rigorous and in-depth analysis of a specific problem in movement science requiring a sustained period of investigation but appropriate for study at the honors undergraduate level. The goal of the honors thesis is to generate new and relevant information that may lead to an abstract submission to a national conference, form the basis for a peer-reviewed manuscript, or provide pilot work for graduate studies. The 5 credits will be distributed over two semesters in consultation with your faculty mentor.
For more information, please contact Dr. Susan Brown ([email protected]), or complete the MOVESCI Honors Program Application , found on the Forms and Bulletins page of the Kinesiology website, https://www.kines.umich.edu/sites/default/files/mvs_honors_app_2016.pdf.
Interprofessional Education
The School of Kinesiology is one of nine health science schools participating in Interprofessional Education.
“Interprofessional education occurs when students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. Once students understand how to work interprofessionally, they are ready to enter the workplace as a member of the collaborative practice team. This is a key step in moving health systems from fragmentation to a position of strength.” (Source: World Health Organization (WHO). (2010). Framework for action on interprofessional education & collaborative practice. Geneva: World Health Organization. Accessed from https://interprofessional.umich.edu/about/what-is-ipe/ )
Students have many opportunities through IPE to learn from, with and about other health professions. For more information, please visit: https://interprofessional.umich.edu/ and make an appointment with your academic advisor for more information.
