Exercise science provides a holistic, scholarly approach to the study of human movement. Structural and functional aspects of movement efficiency, responses of the body to sport and exercise, and issues of health-related fitness and wellness are studied.
The skills and knowledge gained through the exercise science program allow students to pursue jobs in school, community, business, or industrial settings and provide a springboard into various graduate programs, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, sports management, and other allied health fields.
