Health and Human Performance

Our Mission
The mission of the Health and Human Performance Department is to help FHU family and graduates, through Christian and student-centered activities and education, develop and prepare their academic and physical skills, while developing an attitude of professional involvement.

With the ultimate goal of enhancing health, productivity, and quality of life, our faculty apply and disseminate knowledge relating to the role of movement and physical activity in the advancement of health and wellness in society and prepare professionals for careers in teaching and exercise science related disciplines.


Why study here?
The Department of Health and Human Performance offers two proven, quality programs, which have prepared our students so as to achieve their life’s goals. Our caring, Christian faculty members, working right beside our students, help our students, in any way possible, to become better students, but especially better Christians. Since we are a small department, a close, personal relationship is easily developed between our faculty and our students. Our graduates have consistently been accepted into graduate and professional schools… as well as accepting positions as K-12 physical education teachers. Several of our teaching graduates have had great success in their coaching careers. Our Department, our faculty, and our university are all here to help our students to achieve their academic goals as quickly as possible and become productive members of society.
