About Terry

Dr. Terry DeWitt serves as Professor and Chair of the Department of Kinesiology at Ouachita Baptist University, where he also directs Graduate Studies in Kinesiology. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas (2003), M.S.E. from Henderson State University (1999), M.Ed. from Nicholls State University (1990), and B.S.E. from Ouachita Baptist University (1988). Certified as an athletic trainer (AT) and ACSM exercise physiologist (EP-C), DeWitt joined the Ouachita faculty in 1999, initially as director of the Athletic Training Education Program within biological sciences. He later became professor of kinesiology and leisure studies, leading the department's evolution from recreation and leisure pursuits toward biomechanics and exercise science emphases. Under his leadership, the department now offers pre-professional tracks preparing students for graduate programs in physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant studies, chiropractic care, and athletic training. DeWitt developed Ouachita's Master of Science in Exercise Science program to align with evolving certification requirements for exercise physiologists.
