Physical exercise and health are vital to our livelihood. And now more than ever, we need professionals who are ready to care for the needs of those who experience injuries, deficiencies or disorders to help them take proactive measures for their health. As Christians, we understand that God created our bodies as temples to be given the utmost care. As an exercise science major, you can make that a reality for people around the world.
The human body is complex and awe-inspiring. In order to keep it healthy, we need professionals in both the clinical and non-clinical field with the expertise to care for it. The exercise science program at Cornerstone University will teach you best practices for exercise physiology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, athletic training and more.
Our graduates go on to work at doctors offices, clinics and fitness centers across the country doing important work for people’s wellbeing.
