In this program you will:
- Learn how to use exercise to prevent and manage chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis and mental health conditions.
- Train to prevent and manage musculoskeletal injuries in sport and recreational settings.
- Study anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, exercise assessment, exercise programming, psychology and nutrition.

- Test and train athletes in USC’s AIS-accredited sport science labs.
- Qualify to work as an exercise physiologist in hospitals, health clinics, rehabilitation facilities, community health, occupational rehabilitation, gyms and more.
