Exercise Science Overview
We hold our students to very high standards in the exercise science program. Partly because we are preparing them for demanding roles as physicians, therapists, athletic trainers, and exercise scientists, but also because these graduates will contribute to the future health of people, regardless of which career path they choose.
— EDWARD RYAN, Ph.D., assistant professor of exercise science
