About the Department

The Exercise Science program at the University of Cincinnati is housed in the School of Human Services within the College of Education Criminal Justice, and Human Services (CECH). The program offers a B.S. in Exercise Science, with a Master of Science in Exercise and Sports Science beginning the Fall of 2025.

Students seeking the B.S. degree are interested in careers in strength and conditioning, sports science, wellness programming, cardiac rehabilitation, clinical exercise physiology and more. The science-based curriculum includes applied practical learning opportunities and prepares students to sit for the NSCA-CSCS and ACSM-EP credentials upon graduation. The program is seeking accreditation in CASCE and CAAHEP.

The Exercise Science program is located on the main campus of the University of Cincinnati, in the recently renovated Teachers-Dyer Complex. The program oversees two lab spaces within the building, focused on strength, performance, and exercise physiology. Both lab spaces are equipped with current technology and equipment for practical teaching and research activities. Faculty within the program often collaborate with cross-campus and community partners on various research and service-related projects in sports science, strength and conditioning, blood flow restriction, and wellness.
