What You’ll Study
How are elite athletes different? What types of training best prepare endurance athletes versus sprinters? How do you get your body to perform to the best of its abilities? The exercise and sports science major at Queens University of Charlotte encourages you to dig into questions like these and more as you examine the science of human movement. You will have opportunities to apply your learning outside the classroom with internships and connections to professional sports teams such as the Charlotte Panthers and the Charlotte Hornets and the healthcare community.
