Overview

The Fitness Promotion program of the Utah State University aims to meet the needs of students who desire to or currently hold a position within the field of health fitness. This degree meets the needs of students who do not foresee pursuing a PhD or a career as a researcher. Student’s extensive fieldwork (practicum) experience further ensures a practical benchmark for a career as a health-fitness professional.

The primary focus of the degree is to acquire advanced skills specific to a profession in a health fitness setting. In addition to some of the same courses that MS students take (i.e., Advanced Exercise Physiology, Biomechanics), MFP students take courses in ECG interpretation and Health Psychology, as well as health- and wellness-related electives from other departments (e.g., Nutritional Epidemiology, Sociology of Health, etc.).
