EXNS Undergraduate Programs
In the Department of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, we teach students how the human body functions in response to various environmental challenges. We offer a BS in Exercise Science with five concentration opportunities that allow students to complete pre-requisite studies for postgraduate training in health careers. Our undergraduate programs provide the preparation students need to excel in the most highly sought after health and wellness careers.
We are one of only a few U.S. schools of public health that offer a Department of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences. What does that mean for our students? Our Bachelor of Science (BS) programs deliver a versatile background in topics such as physiology, psychology, nutrition and exercise science. Those lessons are combined with the latest research and training in methods to promote an active and healthy lifestyle in order to improve the health of the public.
