Opportunities for student involvement in research and community-based service learning activities abound. Experiential education opportunities are also plentiful. Some of these are class-related, allowing students to engage in research or service activities in the High Country region. Other experiential learning occurs in our numerous laboratories, through clinical supervision, or in full-time internships. The department has an impressive record of placing students in nationwide and international internship positions, preparing them for exciting careers in the health and fitness industries.

Through all of this, the faculty maintains a dedication to being effective teachers.
