Department of Human Performance and Wellness
The Department of Human Performance and Wellness is committed to high quality development of the student. The department's two-fold purpose is to first prepare students through the physical activity curriculum to function effectively in personal and social relationships and second, prepare students for leadership positions in health, sport management, fitness, and professional service roles in human performance professions.
