Springfield College Assistant Professor of Physical Education Korey Boyd

Springfield College has a reputation for being a leader in the field of movement studies. And, we can back it up.

Our Movement and Sports Studies major offers a comprehensive understanding of the scientific and social foundations of movement and its cultural forms of dance, sports, games, and exercise.  Students engage in self-selected and career-focused fieldwork in settings that may include YMCAs, fitness centers, colleges/universities, before/after school programs, and more.

Graduates of the movement and sports studies program work in school and community-based agencies, including YMCAs and recreational facilities. Graduates also pursue graduate education in physical education, athletic administration, advanced level coaching, sport management, adapted physical education, health promotion, and sport and exercise psychology.

“Looking into this program, what stood out to me was the dedication of the faculty. The thought, input, and purpose that the professors put into their courses are what make this stand out from the rest. The program allows you to learn ways of teaching, mentoring, and helping others, and gives you the opportunity to become more well-rounded as a person to pursue other minors and interests you want to learn while in college.” Hayden Brown, Class of 2025
