Health and Exercise Science at St. Thomas
The core mission of the Department of Health and Exercise Science (HES) is to provide students with the skills and knowledge to promote healthy living and well-being for individuals and their communities.
Our world is faced with significant health challenges affecting individuals and the population more broadly. Graduates of the Health and Exercise Science programs are meeting these challenges by putting theory into practice by promoting healthy lifestyles, evaluating human movement and the body’s response to exercise, and finding solutions that address complex health issues and health disparities in our communities. The department’s programs in health promotion and wellness, exercise science, public health, and nutrition prepare graduates to help both individuals and communities improve health.
