Health and Human Performance

Have you ever wanted to stand on the sidelines of a football game, ready to care for injured players? Do you love working out? Does a career as a personal trainer, coach, recreation professional, or PE teacher appeal to you? In the Department of Health and Human Performance, you will find in-depth classes, innovative hands-on experiences, and supportive faculty and staff to prepare you for an active career that will take you anywhere you want to go.

You will hone your skills in extensive athletic facilities, labs, and community support centers. Working closely with faculty from day one gives you the chance to expand your ideas into real learning experiences. Hands-on experiences through internships and clinical rotations put you ahead of the competition upon graduation. 

We invite you to explore our Web site, and please contact us for more information. We would love to hear from you!
