Our department’s curriculum has a strong science base providing a great foundation for a career in health and fitness and preparation for pre-professional graduate programs. Examples of coursework and areas of faculty expertise include exercise physiology, kinesiology, biomechanics, nutrition, exercise epidemiology and aging, advanced strength and conditioning, and exercise testing and prescription.
