Why Pursue an Exercise Science Minor?

The exercise science minor is designed to give a breadth of study to those students who are passionate about the concept of utilizing exercise to improve performance and overall health in a diverse population, in both athletes and nonathletes. Students may choose this minor to complement any human service major focused around health.
