Within Kinesiology, movement is studied at all levels: cellular, whole body, and societal. Much of the research within Kinesiology is interdisciplinary in nature. Studying the complexities of human movement encourages collaborative partnerships with many life science disciplines, such as medicine, neuroscience, and bioengineering, as well as fostering links with business, education, and social sciences.
We invite you to learn more about research being done in the Division of Kinesiology. |

NOTE: Undergraduate students may take advantage of Honors Research, Independent Study, Lab Rotation, and other programs offered through the Division of Kinesiology. Please refer to each major's course descriptions page (see Academic Programs ---> Undergraduate Program, select the major, then select Course Descriptions) for details. |
| Kinesiology Undergraduate Research Opportunity (KUROP) |
| |
KUROP is a joint venture between the Division of Kinesiology and UM's Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP). The goal is to promote research as a valuable component of undergraduate education.
KUROP participants select from a campus-wide catalog of projects* and interview with the faculty member in charge of the project. If selected for the program, you and your faculty mentor will conduct research important to the field of Kinesiology.
The KUROP experience allows you to apply classroom knowledge to "real world" Kinesiology issues, enabling you to use advanced technology and collaborate with prominent researchers.
How to apply for KUROP: |
| |
• |
Students living on campus will receive a UROP application through campus mail during the Winter semester. |
| |
• |
Students living off campus should contact UROP for an application. |
| |
• |
When you register for classes, the KUROP course number is 280 (MOVESCI 280, PHYSED 280, and SPTMGMTC 280). Be sure to indicate your faculty mentor and the number of credits you're registering for. |
| |
|
* to be enrolled in KUROP, Kinesiology students should choose a Kinesiology project; however, students should feel free to choose projects that are interesting regardless of department or school in which the research is being conducted. |
