Immerse yourself in the science of human function, sharpen your analytical skills, and apply what you’ve learned to help people maximize their potential across the life span. It’s all part of studying exercise and health science at Willamette University.
You’ll explore the interaction of the mind, body and spirit in discussion- and laboratory-based classes and gain additional insights at monthly presentations by seasoned professionals. You’ll also have a chance to collaborate with professors on graduate-level research projects and present your findings at national conferences.
While you’re earning your degree, you can gain invaluable experience in professional settings on and off campus. Develop front-line skills as a first responder for Willamette Emergency Medical Services. Perform dissections in our human cadaver lab. Secure an internship with one of our community partners. Work with children, the elderly, high-level athletes, innovators, policymakers — the possibilities are endless.
Regardless of your career interests, you’ll develop the tools you need to succeed. For more than a quarter of a century, our program has been producing graduates who live the university motto, “Not unto ourselves alone are we born.”
They've become leaders in their chosen fields. So can you.
