The Department of Health, Exercise & Rehabilitative Sciences is committed to preparing competent, entry-level exercise physiologists, health educators, and athletic trainers who can serve the needs of Minnesota and the global community. In order to fill this fundamental mission, the faculty:
-
Provide instruction in health education pedagogy, basic science, and clinical sciences.
-
Facilitate the professional development of the students through sound instruction, scholarly activity, and demonstrate service.
The department fosters the development of physical, social, emotional, recreational, clinical and culturally diverse skills to enhance the human behavior and well-being of all populations.

Additionally, students interested in physical therapy or occupational therapy may choose either the Athletic Training Major or the Exercise and Rehabilitative Science: Movement Science major. The Movement Science prepares students for entry in graduate schools in a movement science field such as biomechanics, kinesiology, exercise physiology, motor control, physical therapy, and occupational therapy.
