Exercise Science and Sport (ESS)
The Department of Exercise Science & Sport at Millikin University prepares professionals to provide care for athletes, direct physical education in a school setting and provide leadership for fitness and sport activities. Developing skills, habits and attitudes that promote health and wellness is strongly recommended for all students.
Our three majors allow graduates to receive the education they need to become certified in diverse fields. Here are our majors and a few ideas about how they apply to careers.
Physical Education
Teach K-12 students about physical fitness.
Driver Education & Health Endorsement available
Athletic Training
Assess and manage care of athletes
Fitness & Sport
Be a fitness trainer, sport programs cooridnator
or recreation program director
Sport Management emphasis
Lead the administration of a sports business
or sport organization
The programs prepare students for certification tests, graduate school and jobs in various disciplines. They also include valuable hands-on opportunities. Participating in an athletics team is not required; however many Exercise Science & Sport majors benefit from being either student athletes or assisting teams in other ways.
The exciting combination of classroom and experiential learning is bound to help you discover your strength in the field of Exercise Science & Sport.
