 Return to: Program Information
This undergraduate major program gives students a background in the scientific
concepts of fitness exercise, disease risk reduction, nutrition, and the techniques
used to evaluate fitness, and health status. Students, in addition, are given
an introductory background in the psychological and business aspects of the fitness/wellness
field. Students are also prepared to go on to graduate work in related fitness/wellness/allied
health disciplines. The emphasis of the course of study is on working with adults
outside of the formal educational system. This program does not include preparation
for New York State teacher certification. However, this program does include a
senior year field experience in health fitness clubs, corporate fitness programs,
cardiac rehabilitation programs, and/or any other approved fitness or wellness
centers. Professor Zwiren, Coordinator
Final admission to the field experience will be made by the Chairperson of the
Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences upon recommendation from the
faculty.
