During the 2020-2021 academic year, our Exercise Science Program reported a 83% retention rate* and had a graduate placement rate of 81%**.

* The 83% retention rate reported is based on the constantly varying numbers of Exercise Science students in our program. Students are not formally admitted to the Exercise Science Program. They may declare Exercise Science as a major once they are accepted to the university, and at any time during the semesters.

** Several of our graduates secured employment in areas outside of Exercise Science (e.g., law-enforcement, military, etc.), which is often the career choices of these students from the time they begin in the Exercise Science program.

EIM is a collaboration of different departments and individuals united in the EIM initiative which strives to promote that exercise IS medicine.
