The M.S. Exercise Physiology program strives toward education with application, preparing students for the fields of cardiac rehabilitation, strength and condition, academic research, corporate wellness and more.
Education with Application
The M.S. Exercise Physiology Program trains graduate students on the latest science of performance testing and exercise prescription for a wide range of populations. Students and faculty from our laboratory present and publish routinely on the topics in exercise assessment and prescription. We believe tomorrow’s exercise physiologist also requires skills in modifying a person’s exercise behavior, particularly patient-populations with or at risk for preventable diseases.
Our students often complete a research manuscript, internship, or both as their capstone project. These experiences prepare students for Ph.D. programs as well as careers in strength and conditioning, coaching, worksite wellness, hospital-based exercise prescription, and many more.
