Description of the Department or Unit


The newly created Department of Kinesiology (effective July 2025; formerly the Department of Public Health & Exercise Science) at Appalachian State University comprises nationally accredited and recognized programs including a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree in Kinesiology (formerly Exercise Science). The Kinesiology graduate program at App State has a long history of success and prestige in strength & conditioning and clinical exercise physiology. The department features state of the art laboratories and supports faculty with diverse research and practice backgrounds. This inaugural chair position is a significant milestone in the history of Exercise Science (Kinesiology) at App State as it marks the transition into an independent , stand-alone department.

Appalachian State University's Beaver College of Health Sciences (BCHS) is transforming the health and quality of lives of individuals, families, and communities through inclusive practices, interprofessional collaboration, and innovation in teaching, scholarship, service, and clinical outreach. The BCHS supports over 3,400 students in nine undergraduate and nine graduate degree programs, organized into six academic departments. The programs are located in Boone in the Holmes Convocation Center and the Leon Levine Hall of Health Sciences, the cornerstone of Boone's Wellness District. We also have a presence on our new campus in Hickory. The college supports the Appalachian Institute for Health and Wellness and has a collaborative partnership with the Wake Forest School of Medicine's Physician Assistant Program and multiple health and human service agencies across the region.
