The Exercise Science program is designed to prepare students for health-related fields such as pre-physical therapy, pre-occupational therapy, cardiac rehabilitation and leadership in wellness programs. Also, students interested in positions such as personal trainers, health club and fitness directors would complete courses in this area.

The program also serves to prepare students for graduate study in exercise science through the development of knowledge and skill in laboratory and other research activities.

The curriculum is designed following the guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine in order to prepare the student for the ACSM certification program.

Over 80% of the departments majors in exercise science passed the ACSM Health/Fitness Instructor examination.
