Associate of Science in Sports Science

Sports Science is the study of how the human body moves performing physical activity and sports.  This program uses science to assist with body performance and endurance to prepare for competitions while reducing the possibility of injury.  Sports Science identifies the strengths and weaknesses within a training program to customize it for athletes, non-athletes, and all others in-between.  Students studying within this program will learn how the human body responds to physical activity and specialized movements.

The Job Outlook for Sports Science majors in the United States of America is 10% to 14% growth between now and 2032, which is faster than the national average of 3%.
