312 Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences—Department of Health and Human Performance Overview The Department of Health and Human Performance offers the Master of Science (M.S.) in Sports Science degree program. This 30-credit, postbachelor’s degree program’s academic curriculum combines hands-on laboratory training and online coursework. Faculty members mentor students in areas related to high-level human performance, applied biomechanics, body composition, sports nutrition, and sports neuroscience. The sports science degree further prepares students for careers in exercise and sports science in areas that include, but are not limited to, research, personal training, strength and conditioning, and performance specialization. It is distinguished from comparable programs by its focus on high-performance vs. general population wellness or fitness.
