Health & Fitness Promotion - Business Track
The business track is recommended for students who are interested in handling the day-to-day business operations of a fitness facility in addition to their personal trainer or strength and conditioning duties. These students are more interested in helping run a facility or perhaps owning their own business or facility. The business track will provide students with fundamental courses in business and management which should serve to prepare them for business ownership or positions of management in the field.
