Exercise Physiology

This area of emphasis is designed for students who wish to gain an understanding of concepts associated with exercise physiology as related to human performance. Particular emphasis is placed on athletic performance and clinical applications. Course work is designed to provide students with a sound theoretical background in physiology, research methods, and clinical practice. The exercise physiology emphasis is meant to prepare students for further graduate study or employment in the fitness/cardiac rehabilitation areas.
