Health and Human Performance is a program featuring career alternatives for majors who wish to combine a broad science background with a personal interest in lifestyle enrichment. Its emphasis is to prepare students for employment in corporate settings, hospital settings, health intervention programs, and as consultants.

Classroom and laboratory experience will emphasize current knowledge and trends and offer students opportunities for work in ongoing, primary prevention programs, along with administering campus-based community and student fitness and wellness programs. Specializations in exercise prescription, cardiac rehabilitation, health promotion and sports medicine programs will be featured. The student who wishes more independence will be encouraged to pursue an entrepreneurial role as this relates to the development of fitness, health, exercise, and retailing centers. Majors wishing to earn an advanced degree at a professional or graduate school will be encouraged to become actively involved in a laboratory research project under staff supervision. Numerous off-campus internships are also available for students to gain experience in cardiac rehabilitation, wellness promotion and corporate fitness programs.
