Rankings by Degree Level

A bachelor's and a doctorate in this field are not competing for the same reader, so each level is compared only with programs at that same level. Within a level, the titles on the diplomas vary even though the classification does not, and how the two degree names compare explains why a school calling its degree exercise science sits in the same ranking as one calling it kinesiology.

Delivery cuts across the four levels rather than sitting inside one. 58 of the 568 programs profiled here carry a federal flag for fully online availability, and they are collected on the best online kinesiology programs, scored on the same model as every level below.

Kinesiology Rankings by Priority

Start with the constraint that will shape your shortlist. The online ranking separates programs by degree level, the affordability ranking compares published resident tuition, the Christian ranking applies a verified faith-identity filter to bachelor’s programs, the HBCU ranking covers programs at historically Black colleges and universities, and the online master’s ranking orders graduate programs by tuition.

Kinesiology Programs by State
