In Their Words

Practical Experience

My biggest takeaway from majoring in exercise science was the vast routes I could take with this major. Exercise science helped me learn the basis for sports performance and become a strength and conditioning coach. Learning about the body’s anatomy and movement patterns helped me succeed in real-world spaces.
