Venue description

The department prepares students to be leaders in the field of physical activity and health. Supported by mounting evidence, it maintains that nothing is more important to a person than lifelong good health, and that physical activity, in its many forms, is an individual’s best health insurance. It offers dedicated faculty and contemporary programs that prepare students to lead school-based, community, and clinical programs in exercise, physical activity, rehabilitation, and sport settings. Many of the programs possess markers of quality. The academic programs are responsive to the needs of today’s students. It provides students with valuable opportunities to bridge knowledge and practice, with a wide variety of field experiences to help transition students into careers. It also offers attractive minors to students to supplement their own programs, such as self-defense and coaching education.
