The McIntyre Center for Exercise and Health Science helps meet the needs of one of Alma’s fastest-growing academic departments. The Exercise and Health Science Department emphasizes a combination of strong science education with generous lab experiences in human physiology, exercise testing and prescription, gross anatomy, athletic training, senior fitness and exercise biochemistry.

The McIntyre Center is visually striking, with exposed interior ceilings and extensive window space along the northern exposure. In the human performance laboratory, floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the athletic playing fields and Wilcox Medical Center.

Alma’s close faculty-student interaction provides numerous benefits such as the ability to do undergraduate research on a graduate level. Alma’s professors treat students more as peers welcoming student input and collaboration on faculty projects. When students are involved in research, faculty aggressively pursue publication of findings including students as co-authors.
