CAREERS IN EXERCISE AND SPORT SCIENCE

The Exercise and Sport Science major is designed with two career tracks: clinical exercise physiology and fitness management. Career opportunities are numerous and varied for all Exercise Science graduates in either of the tracks. Students may elect to work in an entry-level position immediately upon graduation, or they may choose to further their education. The Exercise and Sport Science major prepares them for either option.
