Master of Science in Exercise Science and Health Promotion: Curriculum

The exercise science and health promotion online program length is 12 consecutive months. Thirty students per class work, learn, communicate online and function as a group of interactive peers. This virtual community, or cohort, creates a lively, dynamic educational experience that enriches the collaborative skills essential in the contemporary health care and fitness workplace.

The curricular content is well positioned to be presented via the Internet. Performance enhancement and injury prevention, fitness and wellness strategies, sport psychology, and rehabilitation science methodology are presented with streaming video, narrated PowerPoint presentations and online forums. Threaded discussion groups, chat rooms and e-mail allow the cohorts to communicate and interact, adding unique insight into the discussion. Students use their existing places of employment as their working laboratories, applying concepts and techniques learned online into their daily practice.

Students must choose from one of the following tracks:

These tracks are also available as post-master's certificate for those who already have a graduate degree in a related field (exercise science, psychology, physical education, nursing, teaching, athletic training, etc.) Each track consists of only four courses for the certificate and related NASM certification.  Learn more about the post-master's certificate curricula.
