The Department of Kinesiology focuses on providing students with high-quality learning, both in the classroom and the lab. We also provide health and fitness courses as part of the University Core Curriculum, promoting healthy lifestyles in the MC community.
Enjoy great games at MC’s outstanding athletic facilities. Like A. E. Wood Coliseum, a gold-anodized aluminum dome known around the community for its distinctive appearance. The 48,000-square-foot “Golden Dome” seats 3,500 for basketball games and also includes a fully equipped training room for athletes. Frierson Field hosts great baseball games, with a grandstand that seats up to 1,200 and one of the largest scoreboards in the American Southwest Conference. Robinson-Hale Stadium is one of the largest stadiums in NCAA Division III, seating as many 8,500 people — a roomy spot for Choctaw home football games, which are consistently well-attended. The Williams Strength Center offers more than 5,000 square feet of strength training facilities, with top-notch equipment such as Hammer Strength Equipment, power clean platforms, rubberized dumbbells, squat racks and more, for use by Mississippi College student-athletes.
Kinesiology grads are pursuing rewarding careers in fitness clubs, physical education, sports management, community service and more. You’ll find them making a difference at organizations like Anytime Fitness, Baptist Healthplex, Belhaven College, Clinton Parks & Recreation, Indiana Springs Country Club, International Mission Board, Mississippi Gym of Dreams, Mobile Wizards, St. Dominic’s Hospital and The Courthouse Racquetclubs. They’re also working at schools such as Brandon Middle School and Brookhaven High School, and institutions of higher education like the University of Mississippi, the University of Southern Mississippi and right here at Mississippi College.
