What Can I Do With a Degree in Sports Medicine or Exercise Science?

The career outlook for the exercise scientist will continue to grow as the nation directs its efforts to protect and improve the health and well-being of its society. Job opportunities in the exercise science field are expected to grow faster than other industries for the foreseeable future. This is due to the increasing number of businesses including wellness programs for their employees, the general rise in fitness awareness among the population, and the aging of the baby boomer generation.
