Coming to the University of Mary as a freshman, I knew that I wanted to be a physical therapist, but I didn't know what path [to take] to reach my goal. Then I met Jill Nustad and her enthusiasm was contagious. She helped me understand the systems of the body and how the impact of exercise and diet can affect one's healthy existence. Not only did she excite and motive me, but she helped me finish my undergraduate degree in three years so that I could enter PT school early. I know I wouldn't have received the one-on-one attention and solid preparation I did in any other program. I recommend the UMARY EXS program to any student looking to a health care field, but expecially physical therapy!

 I felt the University of Mary Exercise Science Program prepared me very well for the rigors of physician assistant (PA) school. I was prepared very well for graduate-level classes due to the heavy emphasis on basic sciences that the EXS Program gave me. The science based EXS curriculum gives you many options in terms of meeting prerequisites for continued education in graduate school or even beyond. The exercise science practicum is a great way to develop your skills and learn by dealing with real patients. The clinical rotations have great practical applicaiton to many health care fields. I will forever use knowledge and skills obtained in the EXS program to help me practice medicine as a physician assistant in the field of orthopaedic surgery.

As a graduate of the Class of 2002, [who is now] now a physician assistant, I can tell you this program will have you prepared for the real world. You will be comfortable with patient interaction and you will be confident with your skills and abilities. The exercise science program at the University of Mary provides you with the knowledge and tools to take you into a career in exercise science or to further your education in other avenues. This program lays the groundwork for the development of critical thinking and decision-making skills. With its foundation strongly rooted in the philosophy of the ACSM, you will be provided with the gold standard in exercise testing and prescription.
