Exercise Science

Trying to find a way to create a career out of your love for sports, fitness, and recreation? Do you feel more professional in sweats than in a tie or skirt? Do you have a strong desire to help people regain their mobility, strength, and physical health? Chances are you’d love a career in Exercise Science.

Exercise Science at Northwest Christian University starts with the premise that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and that maintaining health can be a spiritual vocation. At Northwest Christian, you’ll not only learn about the human body and its optimal performance, you’ll grow in your faith and learn how to become a clear thinker as you study the liberal arts. Northwest Christian is a great place for you to prepare for a career or graduate studies in fields related to body movement. Whether you end up as a coach, PE teacher, research assistant, fitness consultant, recreation director, or physical therapist, Northwest Christian University prepares you to lead others in a Christ-like, ethical manner.
