The best feature of the program is the way the professors taught me subjects like human physiology, anatomy and other applied subjects of exercise science. Everyone in the department of exercise science is approachable and full of knowledge and are always available to help you along your educational journey. The most unique experience that I've had while undergoing the program is the hands-on experience, like practicals and internship. This practicum and the curriculum gave me the opportunity to have my own School of Exercise Science. At the end of the program, I was well prepared and ready to apply the skills and knowledge. If you're interested in learning more about exercise science, I would surely recommend the BSES program. Getting your start here is a great choice.’’
