In the Clinical Exercise Physiology concentration students will gain the professional skills to design, implement, and supervise exercise programming for those with chronic diseases and/or physical conditions. Students will also learn how to assess the results of outcomes related to exercise services. Professionals in this field work in a variety of settings: hospitals, outpatient clinics, physician offices, university laboratories or hospital-based research facilities.
The Applied Exercise Scienceconcentration has a significant science focus on anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and biomechanics of human movement, and applications to exercise and therapeutic rehabilitation. Students learn to specialize in performance research, rehabilitative therapies, and related analytical methods and procedures in applied exercise and therapeutic rehabilitation.
The Sport Managementconcentration is designed to appeal to those who wish to work in the business aspects of the sport industry.
