Exercise Science:
College-level knowledge and professional certification are increasingly required for those who wish to work in the fitness industry, whether on a full-time or part-time basis, and whether in an athletic club, ski resort, or sports medicine facility. The certificate program in exercise science covers the basic principles of exercise physiology, fitness assessment, and the preparation of fitness programs and prescriptions, and the development of exercise prescriptions for individuals with medical or other significant limitations. Students who successfully complete the program will be prepared to sit for professional certification examinations from the American College of Sports Medicine, American Council on Exercise, and the American Academy of Health and Fitness Professionals, as well as for certifications from the Cooper Institute for Aerobic Research, the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and a number of other recognized organizations.
