• Program Summary: Exercise science and sport studies majors work towards one of three distinct programs: Two health-science options (Applied Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology) One business-oriented option (Sport Management) The health science options are laboratory-based sciences and provide you with a strong background in human anatomy and physiology. Approximately 20% of students in these options classify themselves as pre-med, approximately 50% as pre-physical therapy or pre-occupational therapy, with the remainder equally across the fields of exercise physiology, cardiac rehab, corporate fitness, nursing, and physician assistant. The sports management program provides you with an extensive background in business and management, beginning with courses in economics, accounting, marketing, and communications. Upon graduation you will be prepared to enter into careers in sport administration, sport marketing, facilities management, and commercial sport.
