Grace’s Answer

As a kinesiology major myself, the next step is to attend PT school because there are not many jobs with only a major in kinesiology. The best thing to do is look at the college you are attending to find other branches of exercise science such as clinical or something with health fitness and performance. If you are interested in athletic training, something involving health fitness or performance or exercise physiology can be encouraging for companies to hire you.

Any type of specialization can be beneficial for the careers you listed and will look excellent on any resumes or applications. Some other majors to look at with athletic training could be biology, any type of science, or even food and nutrition. With kinesiology, it is a broader major and will most likely require some type of specialization if you are not planning on attending any graduate programs. Looking at your involvement in sports, athletic training would be a great field for you!
