Offered through the University's College of Nursing and Health Professions, the Department of Exercise, Health, and Sport Sciences offers degrees in athletic training, exercise science (majoring in health fitness or exercise physiology), and health sciences.
These innovative programs offer students the opportunity to gain clinical experience while using the most advanced sports medicine equipment available. Upon completion of the curriculum, the undergraduate athletic training student will be eligible to challenge the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) Board of Certification (BOC) examination. Upon completion of their respective curricula, health fitness and exercise physiology majors will be eligible to challenge an eclectic mix of national certification examinations including the American College of Sports Medicine's (ACSM) Health Fitness Instructor and Exercise Specialist certification examinations and the National Strength and Conditioning Association's Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist examination. Health Sciences graduates are prepared for careers in general health science fields and for admission to graduate and professional programs.
