The School of Exercise Science & Athletic Training at West Virginia Wesleyan College prepares students for diverse careers and graduate studies in fields such as athletic training, exercise physiology, sports medicine, fitness management, and allied health. The program offers three distinct areas of study: Exercise Science, Health and Human Performance, and a unique 5-Year Master of Athletic Training (MAT) program. Students in the Exercise Science track gain theoretical knowledge and hands-on laboratory skills in areas like metabolic testing, performance enhancement, and exercise prescription, preparing them for research or pre-professional tracks (pre-medicine, pre-physical therapy, etc.).

The 5-Year MAT program allows students to earn both a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and a Master of Athletic Training. This integrated program combines classroom instruction with structured clinical experiences, preparing graduates to be eligible for the Board of Certification (BOC) examination and to work in various settings including schools, universities, professional teams, and sports medicine clinics.
