Exercise Science is the most common major among students entering Physical Therapy school. It is a study of body movements and body response to physical activity. It integrates many disciplines such as physics, human anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, and kinesiology to study the process of physical activity in relation to health, fitness, and wellness. The development of exercise science track had started as a response to students’ feedback and inquiry. Degree in exercise science will allow students to seek employment in the areas of the sport and wellness, like fitness centers, athletic coaching/training, and recreational sports. Exercise Science is intended to be offered in the traditional weekday college time-frame, as a broad field track within the Kinesiology program.
