About

The Department of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences (ENS) in the Jerry & Vickie Moyes College of Education offers programs that teach the skills and knowledge necessary to maintain and enhance human performance and well-being through exercise, fitness, sport, and optimal nutrition. We offer undergraduate students exceptional educational experiences in a variety of teaching environments supported by faculty with diverse expertise. Our state-of-the-art facilities - including fully equipped laboratories (biomechanics, human performance, nutrition biochemistry, and nutrition cooking), a networked computer lab, and ample indoor and outdoor fitness and activity arenas - provide outstanding areas for student instruction and research. 

Our graduates are prepared to apply fitness and nutritional knowledge in a variety of educational, health, and fitness settings, including graduate studies. Through instruction, scholarship, and service, our department offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Exercise and Sport Science (Fitness Professional and Exercise Science tracks), Nutrition Education (Integrative Nutrition and Sports Nutrition tracks), and a Nutrition Education minor.

We also support the efforts of undergraduates seeking Departmental Honors and/or the Bachelor of Integrated Studies degree, offering BIS emphases in Exercise Science and Nutrition Education and a full honors program.
