Exercise Science

NCU is a great place for you to prepare for a career or graduate studies in fields like dietetics, biomechanics, exercise physiology, and physical therapy. Students can intern with local physical therapists, physicians, and medical groups such as the Oregon Heart and Vascular Institute.

At Northwest Christian University, you'll not only experience rigorous practical training and learn about the human body and its optimal performance, you'll grow in your faith and learn how to become a clear thinker as you study the liberal arts. Whether you end up as a coach, PE teacher, research assistant, fitness consultant, recreation director, or physical therapist, NCU prepares you to lead others in a Christ-like, ethical manner.
