As a kinesiology and sport management student specializing in exercise science, you'll learn skills in exercise assessment, prescription and programming for athletic, healthy and special populations as you prepare for a career improving the health and wellbeing of people. A key element of your program is hands-on learning – such as conducting research in our state-of-the-art biomechanics laboratory and gaining real-world experience through an internship.
We also offer a highly customized education, with two potential areas of focus based on your career interests: applied and pre-professional. The applied focus area prepares you to enter careers in strength and conditioning, personal training or another health and wellness related field. This coursework is strongly based on National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) principles and readies you for the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist exam. The pre-professional emphasis prepares you to enter graduate school for physical therapy, occupational therapy, chiropracty, physician assistant studies or athletic training, as well as other professional programs.
