An Arts and Sciences Area of Study
For curriculum information, contact the Health Sciences Division—Room HS-236—443-518-1560.
The Exercise Science area of study is intended to examine the relationship between exercise and human performance and the role of physical activity in the promotion of healthy lifestyles. Exercise science consists of several overlapping disciplines, including biomechanics, exercise physiology and biochemistry, growth and development, exercise nutrition, measurement and evaluation, and exercise psychology. This area of study is designed to provide an effective blend of classroom instruction and practical experience, and is intended to prepare students to transfer to similar programs at four-year institutions. Ultimately, the student will be prepared for careers in clinical, corporate, commercial, and/or community exercise/wellness settings.
