Exercise Science of Health from Capital University

Designed to help prepare students for further study in the allied health/medical field, the exercise science major is the newest course of study in the health and sport sciences department. Like the health and fitness management majors, these students are fully prepared to enter the world of personal wellness and corporate fitness.
