Exercise Science Degrees in Nebraska - NE

Nearly 40% of Nebraskans are aged 18 and younger and over 65.  While images in the media often depict young and middle-aged adults engaged in exercise, efforts to prevent childhood obesity as well as to ensure the fitness of older adults position those who earn exercise science degrees in Nebraska for employment opportunities that are continuously expanding.

Degrees in this field are offered online through programs that support Web-based learning.  The flexibility of Internet classes enables students to determine course schedules that best correspond with their lifestyle demands, e.g., work and family.  In addition, Internet studies allow students in cities such as Bellevue, Omaha and Grand Island the opportunity to broaden their network of like-minded peers through communication and knowledge exchange with classmates across the country and across the world.  Those who seek a two-year degree engage in coursework that addresses topics in physiology and medical vocabulary while those who purse four-year credentials also study theory and nutrition.  Graduate students who pursue master degrees also study evolving research in the field.  Programs may also require brief, on-site components so learners can meet face-to-face for teaching, learning and hands-on use of exercise equipment.  Degrees can be complemented by certification in individuals’ areas of specialty, e.g., strength and conditioning, to further verify their expertise.
