The Department of Exercise Science offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in the scientific study of human movement. Physiological, biochemical, biomechanical and psychological principles constitute the foundation from which the course work has been developed.

The degree program incorporates classes in the other natural sciences and mathematics and culminates with students having completed a diversified science degree. The scientific focus also provides the background necessary for the student to continue on toward scientific research as a graduate. Graduate programs allow for M.S., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. Graduate specialization areas include exercise physiology, biomechanics and sports psychology. The department also offers an undergraduate minor in exercise science.
