The program really balanced the need for classroom time and hands-on learning. As students we were able to do different rotations through Med surge, ICU, ER, and labor and delivery and gain a lot of hands-on experience.

The Exercise Science program helped me understand the links between fitness, exercise, diet, and health. It also gave me the ability to relate research back to the human body, and it’s movements. This has been a very versatile degree that has given me a strong background for a variety of jobs, certification, and preparation for a graduate degree.

From the beginning of my time in the Exercise Science program, the faculty made these big, complex concepts that seemed daunting and overwhelming feel approachable and even fun. The time they took to cover things in-depth for each topic really prepared me to pursue my bachelor’s at Black Hills State University.

The athletic programs here at Sheridan College are super hands-on. Whether it’s prevention and care of athletic injuries, or taping and wrapping, first aid and CPR, or even the human anatomy and physiology courses here, almost all of them have some form of lab or hands-on experience to really help students grasp the knowledge.
