Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) Accreditation
The Miami University Kinesiology program was awarded initial accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) in 2022, upon the recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation for the Exercise Sciences (CoAES). The program is currently preparing for its next continuing accreditation site visit, scheduled for Fall 2027.
As part of our commitment to transparency and continuous quality improvement, the Kinesiology faculty collects and reports data on specific program outcomes. These metrics ensure our students are well-prepared for the competitive job market and advanced professional pathways, while demonstrating that our program consistently meets or exceeds national quality standards.
