The Department of Kinesiology trace its origins to the Department of Physical Education, which was established in 1915 as
part of the Los Angeles State Normal School. In 1919 the department became part of the Teachers College of the Southern Branch,
with separate departments for men and women. During the 1920s, the department's efforts were devoted to the training of Physical
Education teachers and the administration of the Physical Education classes that were required of all undergraduates. In 1932
the Men's and Women's Gymnasiums were completed. In 1938 the M.S. degree in Physical Education was authorized. In 1939 the
department became part of the newly established College of Applied Arts. In 1952 separate divisions for men and women were
eliminated. In 1960 the College of Applied Arts was dissolved and replaced by the College of Fine Arts. The Physical Education
Department was then transferred to the College of Letters and Science, Division of Life Sciences. In 1962 the revised physical
education major was approved and focused on Kinesiology (the science of human movement) and one of three allied fields: physiology,
psychology, or sociology. In 1973 the department changed its name to Kinesiology. When Donald T. Hardy retired in 1976, he
was recognized as the founding father of the Kinesiology department. The department first offered a Ph.D. degree in Kinesiology
in 1979. In 1990 the Kinesiology Department changed its name to the Physiological Sciences Department.

and other materials that contributed to the organization of schedules.
