Overview

While the MS in Exercise Science program is online, class sizes remain intimate and Saint Xavier University's faculty are always available to ensure your success through phone, email, video conference, or stopping by the campus for those who can.

Overview

Students will also have a two-day onsite intensive in their last semester to apply all the theory taught in the program into practical application within the lab. This takes place at our Human Performance Lab, located inside Saint Xavier's Center for Health and Wellness, one of the most technologically advanced labs in the Midwest.

Students utilize critical appraisal techniques to develop an evidence-based practice approach in decision-making. SXU's six core courses in MSES provide the foundation you need for jobs within the field of allied health. The courses cover research methods, ethics, behavior psychology, communication and more. Each course is taught by current practitioners and content experts within the field of allied health.

The MSES program adheres to the National Strength and Conditioning principles and prepares students to take the NSCA-CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Certification), NSCA's Certified Performance and Sport Scientist certification (NSCA-CPSS), and the Functional Movement Systems' FMS Level 1 certification.

This advanced degree will help those seeking to further their knowledge in science and application and set themselves up for employment and job security. A master's degree and National Strength and Conditioning Association Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Certification (NSCA-CSCS) are the minimum requirements for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Major League Baseball (MLB), National Hockey League (NHL), National Football League (NFL), and National Basketball Association (NBA). Many strength and conditioning coaches also perform teaching duties, for which a master's degree is a minimum qualification.
