We believe that physical activity can, and should, be treated as a prescription, just like medicine is prescribed to treat a disease.
The Exercise Science Department at Marian University is dedicated to fostering the personal and professional growth of students through a curriculum grounded in Franciscan values. We seek to cultivate transformational leaders who inspire positive change in the fields of exercise science, health, and wellness, while promoting the holistic well-being of individuals and communities.
Through a focus on evidence-based practices, community engagement, and sustainable health solutions, we aim to create a learning environment that models the Franciscan call to care for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—and to steward the resources and opportunities entrusted to us. In doing so, we aspire to shape leaders who will transform the future of health and fitness for the common good.
