Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences

Exercise and Sport Sciences are intellectual and physical disciplines that prepare students for a deeper understanding of physical activity, specifically, exercise and sport. The discipline derives its knowledge base from experiencing physical activity, studying the theoretical basis of physical activity, and experiencing professional practice centered in physical activity.
