The Exercise Science degree provides students with a theoretical and practical foundation for a wide range of career opportunities. Students with the Exercise Science degree may pursue careers in personal training, health coaching, corporate fitness, strength and conditioning, and wellness. Students often use their Exercise Science degree as the foundation for advanced education in exercise science, exercise physiology, kinesiology, and athletic training, as well as additional education in programs such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, and physician’s assistant.
