The course covers the essential principles of exercise science, including anatomy, physiology, exercise physiology, nutrition, and biomechanics. Students will engage in both theoretical and practical experiences, helping them to develop a comprehensive understanding of how the human body responds to physical activity.

Throughout the program, students will participate in hands-on labs and practical settings, allowing them to apply what they learn in real-world scenarios. Regular assessments will help track progress and enhance critical thinking skills necessary for evaluating exercise and fitness programs. The curriculum is structured to ensure that students are well-prepared to transfer to a four-year institution, where they can continue their studies in exercise science or a related field.
