There is magic in movement & movement is powerful medicine!

The Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science degree provides students with classroom and laboratory experiences that examine the body’s physiological responses to exercise, the role of regular physical activity in maintaining health and wellness, and the chronic health conditions that are associated with physical inactivity (i.e., heart disease, diabetes, obesity).

Students have two degree-track options to choose from. Both degree tracks will also prepare students for graduate study in related fields such as nutrition and dietetics, exercise physiology, kinesiology, public health, and health promotion.

Located in the Highlands of Virginia, Emory & Henry has devoted itself since 1836 to the belief that education can have a transformative effect on an individual, a place and ultimately the wider world.

Emory & Henry College is named for Bishop John Emory, an eminent Methodist church leader, and Patrick Henry, a patriot of the American Revolution and Virginia’s first governor. Together they symbolize the college’s dual emphasis on spiritual growth and civic engagement.
