As soon as I walked into the Exercise Science & Sports Medicine program, something felt right. We are a very close group, and we get to work together in the lab regularly. This program is giving me a great deal of industry knowledge, experience, and exposure to medical terminology. I feel well prepared for further education and a career in this field.
