Sport Studies

At Trinity, a B.A. in sports studies will help you develop a love for and appreciation of the bodies and minds the Creator has given us. You will not only earn a degree based on scientific study and research—you will learn from professors who see sports, leisure, and fitness through a biblical lens.

You will take classes that span psychology, physiology, and coaching theory, built on Trinity’s foundation of liberal arts. Along with our rigorous coursework, we have state-of-the-art facilities, including a Human Performance Lab that features a BodPod and VO2max testing. Our BodPod is one of only seven in the entire Chicagoland area, so we can provide incomparable hands-on experience for our students.

With a degree in sports and exercise science studies, you can prepare for a career as a coach, or in therapeutic recreation, church and sport ministry, or recreational sport management. At Trinity, you can augment your major with a range of minors, including special education and business administration.

Our sports and exercise science studies majors who intend to pursue a career directly after graduation may be able to earn their degrees in just 3.5 years.
