Kinesiology gets a promotion at the University of Michigan

The University of Michigan’s long-time Division of Kinesiology just became the School of Kinesiology.

Kinesiology recently received a new home on the University of Michigan campus. Now it's getting a more prestigious name.

The academic unit's name is changing from the Division of Kinesiology to the School of Kinesiology, effective Dec. 1.

The U-M Board of Regents approved the change at its regular monthly meeting Thursday.
