“The Health and Human Performance Program at Salisbury University provided me the opportunity to be successful in beginning my career in the Strength & Conditioning Field. From attaining a position as a minor league strength coach to being hired at Salisbury University as the Strength & Conditioning Coordinator, the knowledge gained throughout the program has prepared me in all aspects of physical fitness & rehabilitation. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to advance their career and learn from some of the top professors in the field.”

“I would not be where I am today without the health and human performance program. It taught me an extensive amount about clinical exercise physiology and helped me land my dream clinical experience in a pediatric setting.”

“My two years in the health and human performance program at SU changed my outlook completely on exercise and how the body responds to external and internal stimuli. I’ll never forget the countless hours spent with the professors as I talked about my career and where I wanted to take the knowledge learned at SU and apply it to my future. I do not think I’d be where I am right now without this degree.”

“The health and human performance program is a widely recognized program that opens doors both clinically and non-clinically. I use everything that I learned, from pharmacology to cardiopulmonary physiology, in my everyday practice. Being able to evaluate and assess patients, run them through their course of care, and educate them are all values that I have learned from the health and human performance program. Not only does the program challenge you mentally to become a better student, but it challenges you once you leave the classroom to become a better provider and educator for our fellow colleagues and clients.”

“The health and human performance program prepared me very well to apply my academic studies to the professional world in direct patient care. A well-rounded education in all aspects of exercise physiology – including strength and conditioning, health and wellness, and clinical physiology – has been my biggest strength in relating to multiple patient populations. This program has helped turn my passion of exercise and living an active lifestyle into a career. When applied correctly, the information you learn here can help save someone’s life one day.”
