"Empowering students to make more meaningful choices."

The Department of Applied Physiology and Wellness offers programs that reflect the University's philosophy that a rounded education should enhance the social, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of students.  All department offerings challenge students to think critically about who they are and the decisions they make. They encourage an attitude of lifelong comprehensive wellness and teach skills to deal with potential imbalances in lifestyle.  Although the Department offers a variety of Wellness classes, two in particular are important to all undergraduate students;  as part of SMU's General Education Curriculum, Wellness 1101 (Choices 1) and Wellness 2000 (Choices 2) are required for graduation.

In addition, Bachelor's degree in Applied Physiology and Sport Management has just been approved by SACS.
