Our Program

Exercise Science is a scientifically rigorous program that prepares students for further education and career in exercise science related fields. The program offers advanced multidisciplinary coursework and extensive opportunities to pursue innovative practical experiences and research. The program of study is designed to be flexible and can be individualized to line up with the students' future directions and career goals. Faculty members will work closely with students to tailor the academic, practical, and research program based on the needs of the students. This targeted coursework allows students to lay a foundation for the professional, technical, and practical aspects of their future career. The students can pursue one of two practical routes (Sports Science & Nutrition or Clinical Exercise Science) or a research-intensive route.

The facilities of individual faculty members are state of the art. In addition to individual faculty's laboratory space, the program is enriched by the core-biochemistry laboratory, core-molecular biology laboratory, core-environmental chambers, and physical activity laboratory that can be used for exercise intervention studies.

The current interest in healthy lifestyles and the role that exercise plays provided a remarkable range of career opportunities related to Exercise Science. This includes strength and conditioning coaching for professional athletic teams and intercollegiate teams, personal training, cardiac rehabilitation, worksite health and wellness programs.
