Exercise Science
Exercise Science majors Michael Diaz, Britain Chaputa and Carlos Gonzalez investigate the impact high intensity exercise has on cerebral blood flow. With this groundbreaking research, they hope to contribute towards current studies on traumatic brain injuries, such as concussions, so that they can be better assessed.
Exercise Science
In the exercise science department, I had the opportunity to be a member of a research team that studies the effects of concussion on the human body. I was able to study the neurological health data from approximately 1,000 participants! I had many hands-on experiences and felt comfortable asking for guidance from my professors at any time. The exercise science major paved the road to my dream of being accepted into a Doctor of Physical Therapy program by providing very comprehensive and competitive courses and experiences.

Political Science
There are so many opportunities to get involved in the Political Science department. I was able to attend the Republican Presidential Debate at the Reagan Library, where I volunteered in the spin room. It gave me the opportunity to have a firsthand look at a crucial part of a political campaign.
