This option is for individuals interested in working in a fitness environment in roles such as an exercise physiologist, strength and conditioning coach, fitness club programmer, or group activity instructor. Students are prepared to take the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Certified Exercise Physiologist Exam or the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Exam.

Students who wish to pursue careers in the sport coaching and health and physical education fields complete a major in Kinesiology along with a Health and Physical Education Pedagogy Concentration. Students who wish to teach in the K-12 public school system must also complete the Teacher Certification courses and the Teacher Performance Assessment. Teacher certification students can obtain a Washington State Certification and K-12 health and fitness endorsement to teach in public schools. Gonzaga’s teacher certification program is recognized by Interstate New Teacher Assessment & Support Consortium (InTASC), so candidates will be qualified to teach in any state that is part of InTASC.
