Interested in becoming a doctor, chiropractor, physical therapist, occupational therapist, physician assistant, or another clinical field but aren’t sure which undergraduate path can get you there? This is the program for you! The science-based courses and study of the human body are the perfect path to prepare you for graduate and professional program entry.
Maybe clinical health practice isn't your goal, but becoming an athletic trainer, researcher, or specialist who works with the human body interests you. The exercise science major is a great choice.
Regardless of your goals, you'll develop knowledge of scientific concepts including human anatomy, physiology, muscle control, nutrition, motor development, and more—subjects that are essential for anyone planning to work long term in clinical practice or care.
You will graduate with a strong understanding of the complex network of systems that make up the human body, plus how they work together to do things like break down food for fuel, repair damaged tissues, experience growth and development, and move through the world safely at any level. You’ll also get hands-on experience that builds the practical skills graduate and professional programs look for in strong applicants.
This path isn't intended to be your terminal degree. It's a step along the way to keep you moving along your professional career path preparation.
