Where Fitness Lives

Our students study human movement, in all its complexity, in two programs: exercise science or physical education. Both programs integrate rigorous coursework with applied skills in lab and field settings, under the direction of a faculty with a sustained commitment to scholarship. Our graduates are experts in maximizing human health and performance through fitness.
