Exercise Science is the scientific study of human movement and the changes caused by physical activity in the body with the goal of understanding how to maintain or improve health and fitness. A Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science with an Allied Health Pre-Professional Concentration prepares students for further study in an allied health field (such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, chiropractic medicine, nursing, and more) by integrating applied, hands-on learning experiences with a firm understanding of basic facts, theory, and research about health and physical activity.
