wellness. The course work of this program is designed to prepare physical educators, therapists, and coaches to be leaders and advocates for quality physical education, sports and physical therapy programs. Graduates will work with people of all ages and skill levels in that most immediate of arenas: their own bodies. Health and Exercise Science students are practicing vital skills in class and fieldwork. Health and Exercise Science graduates are coaching overseas, teaching in public schools, and overseeing healthcare quality.<\/p>\n<p>As the only school in Oregon to be recognized by the NSCA Education Recognition Program (ERP), our program is especially distinguished with standardized, approved strength and conditioning curricula in undergraduate and graduate settings designed to prepare students for the NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist\u00ae (CSCS) certification.
