Hands-on and practical experience
You will gain hands-on experience in Messiah's state-of-the-art Human Performance Lab. The laboratory houses sessions for exercise physiology, kinesiology and research methods. In addition, this lab serves as a focal point for the undergraduate research initiative, where you can conduct original research presented and published on a regional, national or international level. You will learn to calibrate, use and modify the equipment for your specific needs through various classes or research projects.
Through internships, research and clinical courses, you’ll receive valuable hands-on experience in applying concepts presented to you in class by caring faculty, who are also respected scholars.
Messiah's unique approach to hands-on learning
Learning in the classroom is important but
actually applying that knowledge in a hands-on
way can make all the difference. At Messiah
University, the Experiential Learning Initiative
(ELI) allows Messiah to take this hands-on
learning to a new level by giving students
the opportunity to apply what they have
learned to various real world contexts--such
as an internship/practica, service learning,
off-campus program, holding a student
leadership position, or participating in
undergraduate research.
