As an exercise enthusiast, you love the feeling of vigor and well-being when you’re running a marathon or swimming a few laps, and you’re looking to forward your career that incorporates that passion. Our rigorous graduate program in exercise science and rehabilitation is the perfect fit. Your studies will include advanced courses on, among other topics, physiology of exercise, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and biomechanics. You will learn how exercise impacts different ages and special populations, such as athletes and the elderly. By the time you earn your degree, you will be fully prepared to advance your career in clinical, corporate or fitness settings.
