The UNM Exercise Science program provides students with the experiential and ethical foundation in the study of human physiology and movement necessary to succeed in their choice of career, professional field of study, and advanced academic work.
Undergraduate and Master’s students are prepared for continued education in Physical Therapy, Athletic Training, Sports Administration, Occupational Therapy, Clinical Medicine, and nursing, as well as to function professionally as exercise physiologists/scientists in health/fitness facilities, personal training clubs, cardiac rehabilitation centers, and corporate health promotion programs.
The PhD program prepares exercise science researchers, professors, and preventative and/or rehabilitative program directors. PhD students are mentored and encouraged to engage in grantsmanship, college teaching and service activities during their time here.
