Support the 健康 Needs of Individuals 和 Athletes
Our Department of Exercise 和 Sport Performance (ESP), offering programs in 运动训练(AT) 和 应用运动科学(AES), trains you to support the needs of healthy as well as health-compromised individuals 和 help athletes enhance performance.
学生 in these programs complete very similar coursework in the first two years, before moving into major-specific coursework for the last two years. 作为本课程的一部分, you'll take combined courses in integrated health sciences that allow you to learn about different careers 和 experience interprofessional education activities that teach you to function as part of a health care team.
What is the Difference Between Athletic Training 和 应用运动科学?
The AT program prepares students for a career as an athletic trainer 和 focuses on athletic 和 orthopaedic injury prevention 和 rehabilitation. Clinical rotations occur during the sophomore through senior years. Graduates in AT frequently find positions in a school or orthopedic setting. 学生 in the AT program are prepared to sit for the Board of Certification (BOC) examination for entry-level athletic trainers.
AES程序的范围更广, enabling individuals to pursue diverse career fields such as ones that involve clinical exercise testing, cardiac 和 pulmonary rehabilitation, 和 exercise prescription 和 instruction to improve health, 健身, 运动表现. 学生 in the AES program can sit for the National 力量与调节 exam for both the Personal Trainer 和 力量与调节. The AES students can also become certified by the American College of Sports Medicine as either a Certified Exercise Physiologist or Certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist.
All of our programs are excellent gateways to graduate allied health professional programs due to their applied nature. Each year approximately 60% percent of the seniors are successful in gaining acceptance to graduate programs (Physical Therapy, 医师助理, 临床运动生理学, 加速护理, 脊椎按摩疗法, 力量与调节, 等.). Among graduates interested in entering the workforce immediately, 83% secure positions within six months of earning their degrees.
Please take time to learn about these programs 和 contact us if you have any questions about the ESP department. We look forward to meeting you 和 sharing with you all the wonderful things our students are doing.
真诚地,
