The Fitness Management major is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills required for promoting healthy lifestyles. Exercise science coursework is supplemented with business courses to prepare the student for professional opportunities in a wide variety of health and fitness settings. This curriculum is also endorsed by the ACSM.
