What can you do with different exercise science concentrations?
So what exactly is a concentration, and how do you go about choosing? A concentration is a specific focus within a major. When deciding which one is best for you, it’s important to understand your skills, your passions, and what careers each concentration will prepare you for. Here are the three exercise science concentrations offered at Grace College:
Fitness and Nutrition – A fitness and nutrition concentration focuses on fitness, nutrition, and sports performance to prepare students for careers as fitness coaches and dieticians.
Health and Wellness – This concentration teaches students about physical fitness, nutrition, and human anatomy to equip students to teach others about healthy living. Students are prepared for careers in physical therapy, athletic training, and nutrition.
Pre-Physical Therap – A pre-physical therapy concentration combines human anatomy with health and sports psychology to prepare students to work in a medical setting as a physical therapist or an occupational therapist.
