Exercise Science and Sport Management
Exercise Science is the study of scientific applications to human movements and performance. Since it is the means to all accomplishments, movement is one of the most important things that man does. The study of Exercise Science seeks to determine the physiological, psychological, and sociological factors influencing simple movement and/or exercise, and the program emphasizes the scientific application of these factors to human performance.
Sport, being comprised of specialized movements, has become a tremendous facet of human society and continues to grow, providing business opportunities and a greater need for managers of sport organizations. Thus, sport management entails aspects of running a sport business or organization such as sales, marketing, finance, facilities, leadership, human relations, among others.

Professional Opportunities for Students
Final Four
Each year, Schreiner University students can apply to be part of the Final Four volunteer team. Students who are selected to travel to the Men’s Final Four Basketball Tournament are given the opportunity to work in a hands-on environment helping put on fan events connected to the Final Four. Students return to campus having gained a better understanding of what goes into the planning and execution of a large-scale sporting event.
TACSM
Exercise Science and Sport Management students learn, network and present their original scienfitic research at the Texas Chapter of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) meeting every year in Waco, TX. The ACSM is a multi-disciplinary professional and scientific society dedicated to the generation and dissemination of knowledge concerning the motivations, responses, adaptations and health aspects of persons engaged in sport and exercise.
ASMA Conference
The national conference of the Applied Sport Management Conference meets yearly in locations across the United States. Students who have research presentations accepted can then attend the conference to present their research and network with sport management professors and practitioners from across the country.
