WHY STUDY EXERCISE SCIENCE AT TIU?

Reading a textbook will only teach you so much…at some point you need hands-on experience with the material you’ve learned. With Trinity’s Exercise Science major, you’ll have the opportunity to complete an internship that will develop your skills and knowledge as you interact with professionals in your field. Through your internship, you’ll solidify your classroom learning as you gain practical experience using the course material you learned in the classroom. With the Exercise Science major you will also have the opportunity to focus on four emphases: Pre-Athletic Training, Pre-Occupational Therapy, Pre-Physical Therapy or Kinesiology.

DID YOU KNOW?

Trinity has 10 varsity sports teams, including football, soccer, basketball, and more. You’ll get to work alongside the teams as you complete your Health Sciences degree.

PERSONAL. PRACTICAL. BIBLICAL.

At Trinity, you’ll be equipped to think critically and biblically in every area of life as you are challenged to apply your faith to your coursework and classroom conversations. And instead of approaching general education as a checklist of courses to be completed, Trinity’s distinctive educational approach gives you the freedom to choose courses that are most interesting and relevant to you. Working closely with your faculty advisor, you can select from electives to enhance your major, apply toward a minor, create a double major, or simply experience something new. The choices are yours! All along the way, you’ll be cared for and supported, ensuring that you make the most of your college experience.

WHAT WILL I STUDY?

Exercise Science is the study of physiological and functional adaptations to movement. The Exercise Science Major is a science-oriented curriculum that will prepare you for graduate study in exercise science/kinesiology, athletic training, physical therapy, and related health fields.
