This program offers two emphases (Exercise Science and Health and Fitness Leadership). Both are designed to prepare students for ACSM certification. Exercise Science Program provides a liberal arts approach to the understanding of exercise science. Theory and practice are blended through a scientific, social, philosophic, and ethical analysis of the discipline. In general, our purpose is to provide students the opportunity to develop the skills, abilities and dispositions necessary for critical and independent thinking. More specifically, to expose students to the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to prepare for careers in exercise science and its related fields, and further professional study.
