About the Program

Exercise science plays a vital role in the development of all students. The discipline is rooted in the premise that human beings are created in the image of God and that, for the Christian, the body is the very residence of the Holy Spirit.

The exercise science department helps prepare students for careers in education, community recreation, coaching, sports medicine and sports management. The major also produces the prerequisites for graduate study in a variety of related fields such as kinesiology, pedagogy, athletic administration, sports management and physical therapy.
