A healthy, active lifestyle doesn’t just interest you; it’s what gets you up at 5 a.m. and fuels you throughout the day. If someone saw your news feed, it would be full of the latest scientific articles on how the body moves and performs.
Your competitive nature means you want more than a degree; you want to be the best in your chosen profession. Why? Because you’re focused on changing lives for the better and being the difference in healthcare.
Cleveland University-Kansas City (CUKC) offers a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Exercise Science with focused 8-week courses year-round designed to provide a deep-dive into class subjects and accelerate students to degree completion in as little as three years.
The number of Americans with chronic conditions related to lifestyle risk factors continues to rise. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that six out of every 10 adults have at least one chronic condition, such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, or arthritis. Exercise scientists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists aim to emphasize preventive care in nutrition and physical activity, which are two key contributing lifestyle factors for chronic disease.
The reason I picked CUKC is smaller class sizes, more one-on-one time with instructors and clinicians, but also a really great background in high test scores.
