Programs in Health and Human Performance are designed to prepare students for a wide variety of educational and other professional careers. Coursework in a major reflects a balance between courses designed to provide the foundational knowledge in the field, skills pertinent to the profession, and an understanding of how the body functions during movement and exercise.

The Health and Human Performance Department offers Bachelor of Arts degrees with majors in fitness management, sport and recreation management, sports psychology and exercise science. The department also offers minors in fitness management, sport and recreation management, sports psychology, and coaching. Olivet undergraduate students who are interested in a career in K-12 teaching may qualify for an innovative approach to enter into this career. See Teaching Pathway  for more information.
