The Applied Physiology & Enterprise (AP&E) program is a concentration within the undergraduate major in Applied Physiology and Sport Management (APSM) housed in the Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development.
This program provides a rigorous curriculum for understanding the biological basis of health and fitness and the management skills required of professionals in the performance, health and fitness industries.
The required introductory class for students interested in applying for the AP&E concentration is APSM 2441 Human Anatomy and Physiology with lab.
Academic coursework and experiential learning opportunities within this program prepare students for a variety of possible career paths including:
- Commercial health and fitness facility management
- Corporate fitness programming
- Nutrition services and products
- Sports strength and conditioning
- Health management
Students selecting the concentration of Applied Physiology & Enterprise will find that the two primary content areas of science and management are integrated by the organizing principle of evidence-based practice, which parallels the mission of the Simmons School to integrate theory, research and practice.
