Profiles"I chose to major in Exercise Science because it is something that I have always been interested in. Also, I love learning about the body and how to keep it healthy, and things to help prevent injuries, since I am an athlete. After graduation, I plan to go into physical therapy." Profiles"I chose Catawba because I was impressed by the Athletic Training program. In my search, I found other schools' programs were lacking in passing rate for boards and hands-on opportunities. After graduation, I hope to go on to med school." Profiles"The Athletic Training Program at Catawba College provided me a wide variety of opportunities in the field of Athletic Training. I was able to learn so much information about Athletic Training and apply it in a clinical setting..." Profiles"After graduation, I want to work with children wih disabilities. I am so happy to have my dreams come true with the help of Cat-U." Profiles"During my freshman year, I declared Exercise Science as my major because I like being involved in an athletic environment and helping people recover from injuries. After graduation, I plan to get my Master's degree in Physical Therapy. I am really excited to enter the Health and Medical field to help better today's society." Profiles"The instructors and staff challenged us in the classroom and in the clinical setting, which granted us with the skills to pursue a number of careers in the allied health profession. This experience taught me the importance of dedication and hard work, as well as the value of leadership and teamwork." Profiles"The Physical Education program at Catawba is outstanding with outstanding professors. Catawba's athletics program has had a very proud tradition, and we are keeping the tradition alive. I chose to be a Physical Education major because I want to give back to the community." Profiles"Exercise Science will help guide me into my future and help me prepare myself for graduate school. I know that helping injured people return to normal daily activities will be very rewarding. I know that the Exercise Science program at Catawba will provide me with the skills and education I need to succeed." Profiles"Since I was young, I knew I wanted to teach. I love being around sports and being active, so Physical Education was the perfect fit.
