After changing my major so many times I finally found a home in the Exercise Science department. All of the instructors are amazing and I would implore anyone thinking about a degree in sports should try the Exercise Science department at HCCC.
Javier Castro
Exercise Science AS Student
Javier started out as a business major at a 4-year university but soon realized it wasn’t for him. He took some time off to work and attended HCCC to complete an AS degree in psychology. After completing his degree, he enlisted in the military. After leaving the military Javier went through some tough times and found that exercise helped his overall health and well-being. He re-enrolled at HCCC in the exercise science program because he wanted to help others benefit from exercise the way that he had. He is currently applying to schools to become an athletic trainer.
