The Master of Science in exercise physiology and fitness leadership is designed for current physical education and exercise teachers who want to expand their knowledge of physiology, human anatomy and fitness leadership. You will build upon your theoretical knowledge and experience to advance your professional skills in research, teaching, and fitness. This specialization is designed to provide knowledge and skills to students in the area of exercise physiology. Students with such a professional background are prepared to assume various roles related to exercise physiology: research, teaching, and applied/practical/laboratory positions in hospitals, corporations, and health clubs. Applied exercise physiology and a human anatomy and physiology course are prerequisites for this specialization. In consultation with an adviser, the student selects either a thesis or non-thesis option.
