EXERCISE AND SPORT SCIENCE (ESS) The mission of the Exercise and Sport Science Department is to enable students to pursue career goals in the fields of exercise, sport science, sports management, and leisure studies. Activity classes assist students in adopting a healthy lifestyle and developing life- long habits of fitness. The B.S. and B.A. degrees are offered in Exercise and Sport Science. The student may choose from three concentrations within the Exercise and Sport Science major based on ca- reer goals.
