Schreiner
University offers courses leading to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree
with a major in Exercise Science.
Exercise Science involves the study of scientific applications to
human movement and performance. Movement provides the primary means
to all accomplishments and is one of the most important human endeavors.
The study of Exercise Science seeks to determine the physiological,
psychological and sociological factors influencing simple movement
and/or exercise.
The Exercise Science program at Schreiner University emphasizes
the application of these factors to human performance. The ability
to logically and scientifically analyze and evaluate human performance
is useful in many areas.
Many
professional possibilities exist in the area of Exercise Science,
and more are becoming available each year. Some students elect to
pursue a teaching certificate in order to teach Physical Education
in public or private schools. Other students may choose to pursue
careers as exercise leaders or fitness directors in private athletic
facilities or corporate fitness programs. Graduate school and physical
therapy school are also options for the Exercise Science major.
