Exercise Science Program

Program Overview

Exercise science is an excellent choice if you're passionate about exercise and its short- and long-term effects. You will study human movement from many perspectives as you prepare for a career in a variety of fields, such as strength and conditioning, fitness, recreation, rehabilitation, or corporate wellness, to name a few.

The major allows for latitude in your program of study. If you're interested in applied fitness settings, you'll find internship opportunities at local, national, and international fitness facilities. If clinical applications of sport science are more appealing (e.g., cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation, physical therapy), you may wish to complete both prerequisite coursework and experiential observations while at Endicott. Upon completion, you will have the opportunity to sit for national credential examinations offered by the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

Exercise Science is a versatile major that prepares students with the knowledge and practical experiences to pursue a variety of disciplines. Students interested in pursuing careers in Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Physician Assistant can now add our new allied health concentration. This concentration provides academic rigor with elective flexibility that allows students to follow their professional goals.

Corey Goldman '16

PT, DPT鈥揝paulding Outpatient Center Framingham

Corey Goldman graduated from Endicott in 2016. He went on to work as a strength and conditioning coach and personal trainer for a corporate gym called LifeTime Athletic. There he worked with athletes and non-athletes who had goals working to improve overall body health, gaining muscle, losing fat, or getting ready for in-season athletics.

After working for a year, Corey went on to pursue his doctorate in physical therapy at MGH Institute of Health Professions, graduating in December of 2020. While finishing graduate school, he was selected for an internship for his last clinical at Spaulding Rehabilitation. Through this he was offered a full-time position at Spaulding Outpatient Center in Framingham. He is currently working at this clinic, specializing in orthopedic injuries and neurological diagnoses.

In addition to working as a strength coach and transitioning from being a student to working as a physical therapist, he is actively involved with Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital’s Adaptive Sports program. He specializes in working with their adaptive sled on ice hockey program. He became involved with this program while completing an internship at 香港六合彩开奖结果 his senior year and has continued to work with them ever since.

“My experience at Endicott has enabled me to pursue a career that I am extremely passionate about. I am grateful for all that Dr. Rooney and Dean Swanton have done to help get me where I am today. The time that my professors took outside of class to provide me with guidance and mentorship was invaluable. I believe that my education at Endicott gave me the guidance I needed to be accepted to one of the top physical therapy schools in the nation, to successfully complete my doctorate degree and to earn a job at one of the top ranked rehabilitation networks in New England.”
