Our graduates are prepared to enter professional programs in athletic training, physical therapy, occupational therapy, chiropractic, and other allied health professions; continue their study of exercise science or human performance in graduate school; and enter the workforce as a strength coach, personal trainer, corporate fitness professional.

The career outlook for the exercise scientist is expected to be positive. Job opportunities in the exercise science field are expected to grow faster than jobs overall for the foreseeable future due to an increasing number of businesses offering wellness programs for their employees, the general rise in fitness awareness among the population, and the aging of the baby boomer generation.  

Our department’s academic advisors and professors will work one-on-one with you to discuss career options that are a perfect fit for your interests and abilities. For more information on careers in your major or help choosing a major, contact the NSU Career Center.
