FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MANHATTAN COLLEGE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION PROGRAM SCORES INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION

The College joins 46 schools whose educational curriculums in strength and conditioning meet high standards

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – The National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) recently recognized Manhattan College for its proactive efforts in providing students with the education needed to be successful in the exercise and sports fields.

Careers in strength and conditioning involve more than just an interest in health and fitness, or past involvement in sports. Students wishing to excel in the profession need a more formal education encompassing sport and exercise science, anatomy, biomechanics, physiology, exercise technique and nutrition.

The College’s physical education and human performance program meets the requirements set by the NSCA, which emphasize anaerobic conditioning and training within the specified curriculum. As part of the three-year recognition, the College gains additional exposure through NSCA publications, Web sites and other forms of marketing. Meeting NSCA’s standards also underscores the high quality of the program the College is providing to its students.

The NSCA is the leading authority on strength training and conditioning. For nearly 30 years, the group has bridged science and application to provide reliable, research-based strength and conditioning information to its 30,000 members and the general public.

Manhattan students that graduate with a degree in physical education or exercise science go on to physical therapy or occupational therapy schools, or pursue careers in hospitals or corporate fitness.

Manhattan College was founded in 1853 in the Lasallian heritage of excellence in teaching, inspired by St. John Baptist de La Salle. Manhattan is an independent, Catholic, coeducational institution of higher learning offering more than 40 major programs of study in the areas of arts, business, education, engineering and science.
