Exercise science is the study of human movement as related to exercise and physical activity from an applied, primarily life science perspective. It is dedicated to promoting and integrating scientific research and education on the effects and benefits of exercise, and to the delivery of physical-activity programs that prevent disease, facilitate rehabilitation, promote health and enhance human performance.

Kinesiology is the study of the art and science of human movement throughout our lifespan. Students will be introduced to the evidence-based research supporting the wellness effects of exercise in our communities, schools, workplace, and clinical settings.
