Experiences in Exercise & Sports Science

physiotherapy

The bachelor of science major in exercise and sports science prepares students in key aspects of the human movement sciences which improve performance in health, fitness, and those engaged in physically demanding activity or sports. Within the broad area of exercise and sports science, students select from three concentration options: pre-rehabilitation sciences, clinical exercise science, and all level physical education certification (teaching). Strong research programs and labs, experiential learning, and community-engaged learning are incorporated into the program. Students may participate in faculty-led study abroad or Study in America trips, develop a professional community at association or networking events, or join student organizations for a well-rounded experience.
