The Exercise Science major enables the student to explore the many relationships between exercise and the areas of health and wellness, as well as, sport performance. The student will develop the knowledge and skills necessary to prescribe effective health and wellness programs in a variety of non-educational settings, strength and conditioning programs for athletes, and/or to pursue graduate study in a variety of areas, including clinical exercise physiology, athletic training, physical therapy and strength training and conditioning.

Two tracks have been developed to prepare students for the above-mentioned pursuits. Track One, the Exercise Specialist Track, involves a more in-depth background in the math and sciences to better prepare the student for graduate study.

Track Two, the Fitness Leader Track, prepares the student for successful entry employment in the fields such as personal training, strength and conditioning coach and corporate fitness programming.
