of Mississippi prepares students for a broad range of health and
fitness related professions through a curriculum that focuses on
the applied sciences of exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor
control, and the psychology of exercise behavior. Furthermore,
the curriculum ensures that students are presented with the most
contemporary issues and trends in the application of exercise for
weight management, cardiopulmonary health, maintenance of functional
movement throughout the lifespan, and the application of exercise
science to athletic performance. Students who graduate with
a degree in Exercise Science often continue to study in areas such
as medicine, chiropractics, nutrition, psychology, physical therapy,
occupational therapy, athletic training, and education. In
addition, students can find employment as group exercise instructors,
cardiopulmonary rehabilitation specialists, employee fitness coordinators,
personal trainers, and strength and conditioning coaches. Graduate
study in Exercise Science provides a focused scientific examination
into a specific topic in exercise science. The mentor driven
approach provides students with an opportunity for in-depth study
of an application of exercise to an area of health and/or human
performance. The degrees provided in the Division of Exercise Science
at The University of Mississippi provide students with an excellent
background for understanding the human body at rest and in motion.
