Exercise Science & Rehabilitation
The graduate program in Exercise Science and Rehabilitation is
a rigorous program that provides students with a solid background in Exercise
Science. As such, graduates should possess the knowledge and ability to work
in Clinical (Cardio-Pulmonary Rehabitation or Clinical Stress Testing), Corporate
(Wellness or Work Hardening Programs) or Fitness (Commercial Fitness or Personal
Training) Settings. While these and other career opportunities exist with the M.S.
alone, this program is also an excellent option for various Health Related
professionals such as Nutritionists, Nurses, Chiropracters, Respiratory Therapists,
Physicians and others who wish to increase their knowlege and employment opportunities.
The course of study usually takes two to three years to
complete on a part-time basis. One may be able to complete the program in less
time depending on what course offerings are planned during the summer
sessions.
