    northeast side near Lake Michigan. The Department of Human Kinetics
    offers BS and MS degrees in the Human Movement Sciences, a physical
    therapy program has been approved, and a Ph.D. program is in
    development. The BS Kinesiology Program provides academic and
    professional preparation for students entering the field of Athletic
    Training, Exercise and Fitness, Health & Fitness Management, and
    academic preparation for those intending to pursue advanced study in the
    health professions or human movement research (MS, PhD). A
    multidisciplinary human movement sciences MS degree is offered to
    students who include, among others, practicing allied health
    professionals (e.g., ATC, OT, PT, RN, MD, DC) and educators. The
    Department also offers academic certificate programs in the following
    areas: Strength and Conditioning, Older Adult Fitness, Nutrition, and
    the Study of Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Consistent with a
    campus goal of connecting to the community, the Department maintains a
    collaborative service learning partnership with the Milwaukee County
    Department on Aging that involves delivery of fitness programs through
    senior centers in the metropolitan area. Departmental
    instructional/research facilities include Biomechanics, Motor
    Control/Learning, Psychology, Sociology, Athletic Training, Exercise
    Physiology, and Human Performance Laboratories. The Exercise
    Physiology Laboratory is home to a portable metabolic system and
    designated chemistry space. The Human Performance Laboratory contains
    stress testing and pulmonary function equipment, and underwater weighing
    tank.
