Department of Exercise & Health Science

Welcome to the Bryan College Exercise and Health Science Department.

The Department of Exercise & Health Science a) provides the content knowledge and skills to assist prospective physical education, health, and sport professionals in preparing for careers in fitness, teaching K-12 PE, and other health and wellness-related professions, and b) supports the institutional demands for health and personal development.

The department offers two options: the Exercise & Health Science "Foundation" option and the Exercise & Health Science Physical Education K-12 "Licensure" option. Both of these programs assist in preparing students to become competent professionals in a variety of health, fitness, and sports professions. In some cases, additional certification is required before a graduate can begin his or her professional career, but Bryan's Exercise & Health Science programs assist in preparing students to take and pass those certification exams.

In addition, both programs assist in preparing students to evaluate ethical issues in the profession and make decisions about issues from the perspective of a Biblical worldview.

Bryan's Department of Exercise & Health Science offers students a challenging education in their chosen field, real-world experiences where students can put into practice the skills they learn in the classroom, and personal attention from instructors who are dedicated to their success.

We believe that a degree from Bryan College, with its commitment to a Christ-centered education, gives our students a unique opportunity to influence the world for Christ. We invite you to look closely at our department and see if Bryan's Exercise and Health Science program is right for you.

Sincerely,
Dr. Dana Kennedy
Exercise & Health Science Department Head
