Exercise Science is the study of physical movement, the associated responses and adaptations to exercise. The combination of an aging global population and heightened awareness of the impact bodily health has on lifestyle, longevity, and happiness has created a constant demand for professionals with the unique skill set of exercise scientists.
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science will be well-prepared for entry-level careers in fitness, wellness, sports performance, medical fields and/or entrance into graduate-level educational programs such as:

The Curry Difference
Well-Rounded, Well-Prepared Graduates - 香港马会开奖结果's Exercise Science curriculum was developed to allow students to explore and develop skills for a multitude of career options, creating well-rounded graduates and career flexibility.
Interdisciplinary - Whether pursuing careers in personal training, cardiac rehab, or athletic training, students will rarely work in isolation. As such, the Exercise Science program uniquely emphasizes taking an interdisciplinary approach to movement science.
Hands-on Learning - The Curry Exercise Science program emphasizes hands-on learning for practical application. Students will go beyond traditional classroom learning to practice skills both in the classroom AND through two required internships.
Multi-avenue Exploration - We believe it is important to give students perspective on business, client acquisition and retention, which are common themes within the Exercise Science field, but not often addressed while in college. Therefore, the Exercise Science program at Curry includes courses like 'Marketing and Revenue Streams' with a Sports Management focus.
Global Perspective - Through partnerships with our Center for Global and Career Services, students will be encouraged to experience the health sciences abroad through elective course offerings, providing them a global perspective to a vast field.
