EXERCISE AND SPORT SCIENCE (ESS)

The mission of the Exercise and Sport Science Department is to enable students to

pursue career goals in the fields of exercise, sport science, sports management, and leisure

studies. Activity classes assist students in adopting a healthy lifestyle and developing life-

long habits of fitness.

The B.S. and B.A. degrees are offered in Exercise and Sport Science. The student may

choose from three concentrations within the Exercise and Sport Science major based on

career goals. These options include Sports Medicine, Sport Science: Teacher Licensure,

and Recreation and Sports Management. For information to teach Physical Education &

tion Office.
