About Health and Human Performance

The Health and Human Performance Department offers majors in health and physical education, exercise and sport science, health and wellness management, as well as graduate degrees in health and wellness management, clinical exercise physiology and strength and conditioning.   Our students benefit from UWRF's state-of-the-art technology and modern sports facilities. With experienced instruction from a supportive faculty, we prepare our students for a variety of health-related careers including physical therapy, occupational therapy, teaching health and physical education, health management, adapted physical education, coaching, and cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation. More importantly, we foster a commitment to lifelong physical activity and healthy lifestyles that enrich the lives of others.
