The Department of Exercise Science and Wellness (you used to know us as "Physical Education") provides opportunities for students to gain knowledge about physical fitness, healthful living practices, leisure-time pursuits, and stress management techniques while mastering a variety of physical fitness and/or sports activities. The curriculum is centered on the concept that movement skills, intellectual development and physical fitness are elements of life that must be taught and reinforced. Further, students acquire and master skills in a progressive fashion through instruction, analysis and evaluation by credentialed professionals.
The department offers a variety of courses to meet general education requirements as well as to provide opportunities for personal growth. Intercollegiate athletic courses, health education courses, and an Associate of Science Degree are also offered through the Department of Exercise Science and Wellness.
Check out the links above for more information on department offerings, faculty, programs, degrees and certificates.
The mission of the Department of Exercise Science and Wellness is to enhance optimal health and wellness by encouraging a comprehensive approach to life-long physical activity and healthy living. We will accomplish this mission by providing a strong pedagogical, nutritional, and behavioral approach to physical activity and by demonstrating how physical activity impacts skill acquisition, disease prevention, fitness, and sport.
