Kinesiology

Welcome to Mesa State College and the Department of Kinesiology!

Students have access to the latest literature on modern intranet/internet servers and databases supported by our campus. The college has an exercise physiology research club and a community wellness program for interested students.

The Department of Kinesiology is housed in Saunders Fieldhouse, which is west of Walker Field - the Soccer Stadium, at the corner of 12th Avenue and Orchard Avenue.

Saunders Fieldhouse is undergoing a major renovation which includes a new Natatorium - a competition swimming pool, 50 meters long, with a diving well and observation area that will allow Mesa State College to host regular season swim competitions, as well as Division II championships.

Saunders Fieldhouse also will be gaining the Monfort Family Human Performance Lab, which will contain the most modern tools and equipment for physiological and biomechanical research. This lab will be used for classes during the week, but also will be open to the community for physiological and biomechanical analysis.

Other additions include a new Athletic Training treatment area, wrestling area, offices and classrooms to accommodate our expanding campus.

Please take some time to explore our website and feel free to contact any of the faculty if you have questions.

Thank you for considering Mesa State College.
