The Exercise Physiology specialization provides coursework and laboratory experiences that prepare students for careers in adult fitness, hospital or corporate-based wellness programs, and cardiac rehabilitation. Through classroom, laboratory, and real-world experiences, the program produces exceptional graduates that are well prepared for the professional work environment.
For those students interested in advanced research intensive or professional careers in medicine, physical/occupational therapy, dentistry, or pharmacy, our program offers a medical and scientific curriculum focused on the study of the human body's responses and adaptations to physical activity. Faculty advisors work to match the coursework and culminating experience with the goals of the students to provide an optimal educational experience.
