Hear From Your Peers
I chose Cedar Crest for my Exercise Science master’s degree for multiple reasons: It’s the perfect location- being near two major health networks gave us tons of experience and networking opportunities; the flexible schedule allowed me to work while also completing my degree requirements; and the program’s design- most exercise science graduate programs that I investigated only offered a clinical or research focus, but not the integration of both. I was excited for both the clinical experiences and the opportunity to conduct research all in one program! Cedar Crest’s program made me feel confident in my knowledge and ability to work with anyone who comes to the fitness center to exercise.”
