(fitness or pre-physical therapy) and nutrition. Students who plan to

Introduction
The departmental mission is to prepare students to serve and lead
through the development of healthy lifestyles. Students selecting
Exercise and Sport Science (EXSS) as their course of study will be
preparing to teach physical education and/or coach. Students
selecting Exercise Science (EXSC) as their course of study will be
preparing to work in health and wellness in a corporate, hospital,
or private setting; or they will prepare for future study in physical or
occupational therapy. Students selecting Nutrition (NUTR) as their
course of study will be preparing to work as registered dietitians or
nutritionists in a management setting. Students who excel in these
degrees are well-prepared for entry to graduate school study in areas
of human performance, wellness, and nutrition.
The coaching minor is designed to prepare more knowledgeable
and competent coaches. Course work addresses the suggested
requirements in existing national coaching standards.
The nature of all these occupations requires professionals who
enjoy working with people.
The nutrition minor affords students the opportunity to study
nutrients and their physiological functions, normal nutrition
requirements throughout the life cycle and for various activities,
and socioeconomic influences on food choices. It also provides
opportunities to learn how to assess adequacy of nutrition, how
to develop nutrition education programs, and how to effectively
educate populations.
The academic program is supported by access to facilities in the
Gibson Health and Physical Education Center where the department
is housed. These facilities serve as both a laboratory for our majors
and a recreation/fitness facility for the entire campus. There are
four classrooms in the center, two of which are smart classrooms,
and a computer laboratory available for student use. The Human
