Exercise Science is the study and application of scientific principles of human movement. As the nation addresses health issues associated with physical inactivity, employment opportunities in exercise science, fitness, and wellness are expected to grow at a faster than average rate. The Exercise Science pre-major will provide students with opportunities to acquire the knowledge, skills, abilities, and values that are essential for competency as a professional in the field of personal training and upper division baccalaureate study in exercise science.
