Explore Exercise Science and Sport Studies at Coastal Carolina University
The Department of Kinesiology, Recreation, and Sport Studies (KRSS) at Coastal Carolina University is a dynamic unit of faculty, staff, and students that studies and promotes human movement (kinesiology) as applied to a variety of physical activity, sport, therapeutic, and recreation settings.
Nationally, regionally, and locally, there is a demand for kinesiology services and programs. We have responded by providing contemporary and attractive academic programs. KRSS has experienced rapid growth over the last few years, and currently is the CCU department with the largest undergraduate enrollment. Within the programs of Exercise and Sport Science or Recreation and Sport Management, almost 1,000 students choose full time study in KRSS.
Our role is to provide students with the knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitudes for effective leadership in today’s physical activity, recreation and sport. We excel not only by teaching well, but by engaging students in hands-on research, community service projects, and field-based leadership opportunities.
In the fast-growing world of kinesiology and KRSS, students will find opportunity – opportunities to learn, to grow, and to lead in a stimulating, current, and engaging academic environment.
