New Degree Program Receives Publicity

May 29, 2025

Long Island Business News publicized the Exercise and Sport Science, M.S. program in the article “.� The program’s director Amerigo Rossi, Ed.D., associate professor of interdisciplinary health sciences, was featured prominently, noting that students have the option to pursue one or two concentrations: kinesiology, offered in-person on the Long Island campus, and coaching administration, offered online.

“We saw two distinct groups that could benefit from this program,� Rossi said. “Working sports professionals, such as a high school coach or someone who runs a recreation league for their city, often work during the day, so they can take online courses for the coaching administration concentration. Then, there are fitness professionals—for example, there’s a growing field of exercise physiologists in hospitals. They need hands-on education, so there will be in-person classes for the kinesiology concentration.�

The Exercise and Sport Science, M.S. program is currently enrolling students for September 2025.
