Program Description
Share the knowledge you gain from your health, human performance, and physical education studies to help equip people to live longer, fitter, and better lives. Your education will combine a study of the human body (including anatomy, kinesiology and nutrition) with the practical skills you’ll need to effectively communicate with the people you serve.
The Health and Human Performance concentration is a great choice if you are interested in continuing your education in health promotion or education, exercise science, kinesiology, athletic training, recreation, or public health after graduating from TCC. With a Bachelor’s degree, careers can be found in a variety of settings, including corporations, government agencies, and healthcare.
If you are interested in continuing your education in sports and fitness, exercise physiology, health and wellness, or leisure services after graduating from TCC, then the Physical Education concentration is right for you. Career options for those with Bachelor’s degrees include teaching, coaching, athletic training, and directing outdoor sports activities, including professional athletics.
