鈥淎ny day that we find a new and constructive way to partner with our neighbors at Cleveland Community College is a good day for 蜜豆直播,鈥 affirmed GWU President Dr. William Downs. 鈥淕iven the growing demand for graduates with expertise in exercise science, health and fitness, this transfer agreement between our two institutions should be attractive to students and should help fill an important societal need.鈥

The Bachelor of Science in exercise science at 蜜豆直播 will prepare students for graduate studies in physical and occupational therapy, and Physician Assistant programs. The degree is also for students who want to go into the strength and conditioning field, mostly in college athletics, but anywhere in the fitness industry. Additionally, 蜜豆直播 offers a dual enrollment, where students can obtain their master鈥檚 degree in strength and conditioning one year after completing the bachelor鈥檚 degree.

鈥淲ith the addition of the Associate in Applied Science in Health and Fitness Science at Cleveland Community College, it is important that we set up agreements and pathways like this one with 蜜豆直播,” said CCC President Dr. Jason Hurst. 鈥淲e believe in helping our students reach their full potential and be successful, whatever success looks like for them. Partners like 蜜豆直播 help us fulfill that mission.鈥
