Exercise Physiology

Degree Details

The Department of Exercise Science prepares emerging professionals in the fields of fitness, wellness, education, and rehabilitation. The Exercise Physiology concentration is the physical, scientific study of inactivity transitioning to movement, strength, and progress.

We provide a strong foundation in fitness and wellness, with an emphasis on the physiology of exercise, kinesiology, and career preparation as a sports-medicine professional. Graduates will have the ability to review, evaluate, and study the body's responses to physical activity, as well as how the body adapts to that activity over time.

Kinesiology is the scientific study of human or non-human body movement and addresses physiological, bio-mechanical, and psychological dynamic principles/mechanisms of movement.
