The Department of Movement Science has evolved from its founding as a single program in physical education teacher preparation under the umbrella of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, Physical Education, and Recreation, into a multi-disciplinary unit serving over 700 major and minor students through majors in Athletic Training, Exercise Science, and Physical Education. Major emphasis areas of study are selected by students pursuing degrees in Exercise Science and Physical Education. Secondary level teachable minors are available in Health Education and Physical Education.
