Overview

The Health and Human Performance Department connects Doane University's progressive approach to a flexible curriculum and individualized advising with student-tailored co-curricular experiences supported by excellent resources for the Bachelor in Exercise Science.

Exercise science is the study of movement and the associated functional responses and adaptations. Sports medicine is the field of medicine concerned with injuries sustained in athletic endeavors, including their prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

Many students have an interest in healthcare but aren't sure about the most appropriate major, let alone a specific career. That's okay! Often an undergraduate student objective in Health and Human Performance is to obtain admittance to their desired graduate program. While this is a priority for faculty and staff and Doane, of equal importance is helping students prepare for success in graduate school and to achieve a gratifying career in their chosen health field.
