Undergraduate students in the Department of Health, Sport, and Exercise Sciences (HSES) may enroll in professional teacher preparation programs in health and physical education. They may also enroll in non-licensure B.S.E. options in athletic training, sport science, and community health. Students in sport science select one of the three specializations- exercise science, pre-physical therapy, or sport management-that prepare them for work in health, fitness, or sport settings outside the schools. Students in community health prepare to work with public health agencies. Students in all non-licensure programs must complete an internship.
Graduate students in HSES may pursue a Master of Science in Education with a major in Physical Education with specializations offered in biomechanics, exercise science, health education, pedagogy, and sport studies. The Doctor of Philosophy degree is offered with emphases in exercise science, health education, pedagogy, and sports studies. The department is located at the Robinson Center which contains mediated classrooms, instructional research laboratories, gymnasiums, swimming pools, and racquetball courts. Playing fields and tennis courts are adjacent to Robinson Center.
