"The education I received in the movement and exercise science major at UNI prepared me for a career path in occupational therapy. The professors made classes enjoyable, and you can see the passion they have for their students by their willingness to ensure success in every facet of life - not just academically. Choosing this program and university was the best decision I've ever made."
