This graduate program aims to equip students for advanced research in exercise physiology and careers in adult fitness, corporate wellness, and cardiac rehabilitation.
It particularly focuses on developing the expertise and hands-on abilities required for students pursuing ACSM certifications (such as Personal Trainer, Health/Fitness Instructor, and Exercise Specialist).
The Exercise Physiology curriculum trains graduates to work with both healthy individuals and those managing chronic conditions (like cardiovascular disease and diabetes), understanding the physiological adaptations during exercise. Graduates also gain experience assisting patients in cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation settings.
