About the HPER Department
The Health, Physical Education and Recreation department at Aquinas College is experiencing new growth in the human kinetics field. An increasing number of students enrolled at Aquinas has led to a larger number of students majoring in the HPER department. The department currently offers four majors and six minors from which students may choose. The majors include Athletic Training, Business Administration/Sport Management, Physical Education Teaching (K-12 certification eligible), and Recreation Administration.
 
The HPER Department is one of the largest departments on campus, and is dedicated to providing the highest quality education for students to enter the challenging and exciting fields for which they are prepared.
