Elon University has added four majors to its curriculum, bringing the total number of majors offered to 47.
Athletic training and exercise/sport science, which were offered as concentrations in the Department of Health Promotion, Leisure and Human Performance, are now majors. The athletic training program prepares students to work in fitness or for sports teams. Exercise/sport science majors will be qualified to work in corporate wellness, the allied health field, and as personal trainers.
Majors were also added in computer information systems and dance. The computer information systems major prepares students to work as systems analysts, network managers, systems integrators and database administrators. Dance majors learn the history of dance and gain experience with choreography as well as tap, jazz, ballet and modern dance techniques.
