The second largest major in the Sciences at the University of San Francisco, the Exercise and Sport Science Department is involved in numerous student assisted research, teaching, and service projects that focus on "creative solutions to healthy living."  Our faculty has received numerous grants from both federal and corporate sectors and has published widely and extensively. Very active in the local Bay Area community, we also travel the world presenting our findings at academic conferences, industry workshops, corporate retreats, and professional settings.

The ESS Department also develops and sponsors a series of continuing education events for working physical therapists, occupation therapists, personal trainers, chiropractors, exercise instructors, strength and conditioning coaches and athletic trainers. In doing so, our students have the opportunity to learn from the very best industry-based thought leaders in applied functional science. It is also a wonderful opportunity for our students to mix with working exercise and sport science professionals.
