The Department of Human Performance at Minnesota State University offers undergraduate and graduate professional preparation for a wide range of teaching and non-teaching careers. Our Departments foundation is built upon the expertise spectrum of twelve full-time faculty, eleven of whom hold doctorates. This department, we believe, offers students the best of two crucial worlds in university education. We are large enough to ensure comprehensive opportunity for students, yet small enough to be able to be genuinely student friendly.
The mission of the Department of Human Performance is to prepare physical activity and sport professionals in teaching, management, and sports medicine. The department also provides opportunities for all students to develop lifelong physical activity skills.
The full range of our undergraduate and graduate programs is available for your perusal. We welcome your interest in MSU Human Performance. Welcome to this guided virtual tour of our Department.
