Exercise Science
Exercise Science has two programs. The Applied program is designed to provide the necessary knowledge and skills to assess, educate, counsel and prescribe appropriate exercise programs for apparently health individuals and those individuals with controlled cardiac, metabolic or pulmonary disease. Graduates of this program are employed in a variety of positions related to the fitness and physical activity fields. These positions include, but are not limited to, personal training in a variety of settings, agencies which promote physical activity such as the American Heart Association, and worksite health enhancement programs.
The Pre-professional program is designed to prepare students for graduate work in areas of study such as Athletic Training and Physical Therapy.
