EXERCISE SCIENCE
The exercise science program at Bethany offers two distinct tracks to help you pursue your passion for health and wellness. Depending on your career goals, you can earn either a Bachelor of Science in allied health or a Bachelor of Arts in applied health. While both of these tracks are rooted in healthcare, each offers a different emphasis depending on your interests.
The allied health track will train you for work in fields such as physical therapy, athletic training, or occupational therapy, while the applied health track will focus on training for fields such as fitness coaching, strength and condition, and wellness programing.
Both paths provide tailored support for student-athletes, individualized faculty mentorship, and hands-on learning opportunities. No matter which route you choose, rest assured that the program was designed in collaboration with healthcare professionals and industry leaders to ensure you are gaining the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in today’s competitive job market.
