UNK Exercise Science Program

The exercise science program at UNK is designed for students who wish to study the response of the human body to the demands of physical activity. Students pursue careers such as health and fitness directors, exercise technicians, fitness instructors, personal trainers, athletic trainers, cardiac rehabilitation specialists and corporate fitness coordinators. Many students also pursue an undergraduate degree in exercise science as an entry into professional programs such as physical therapy or into graduate schools for advanced study.
