Find Success at Judson

The Exercise Sport Science program at Judson University put me in a position to become a proficient decision-maker, leader, and team player. The hands-on application within the class structure took a normal project and allowed me to use the tools I was taught and apply them in real-world situations. Whichever path you choose to take in this department, you will learn a variety of skills that will give you a leg up on others because they have put your knowledge and critical thinking to the test.”
