All programs provide a combination of broad studies in the liberal arts with in-depth education in a professional field. Most programs require clinical or field experiences as part of their professional preparation. The curricula provide students with structure in a discipline as well as flexibility to elect courses in areas other than the academic major. Students tend to be people-oriented, concerned with lifelong activity, and interested in general fitness and wellness concepts. These characteristics apply to students preparing for traditional careers as teachers, clinicians, and administrators as well as to those studying in such developing areas as exercise science, sport science, and leisure services.
