The General Concentration in Health and Human Performance
The General Concentration in Health and Human Performance offers you the opportunity to develop your analytical, communication, conceptual and technical skills related to careers in health and wellness. The focus of this program is primarily Health and Wellness and is not a direct avenue towards a teaching credential or a degree in exercise science.
Program Structure
The program requires a minimum total of 120-hours. Students must meet the general education requirements of the university or the Transfer and Articulation agreement; complete the 25-hour HHP core, 23-25 hours of required cognates, 12-13 HHP elective hours and 12 hours of open electives. University graduation requirements also require 45 hours of upper division credit and a minimum of 60 hours completed at a 4 year institution. Working with an advisor, both requirements can be met through the program.
