Mission:

The School of Health and Movement Sciences (HMS) at Missouri Baptist University encompasses the disciplines of Exercise and Health Science.

The Exercise Science program promotes the integration of Christian faith with the theory and practice of human movement, sports, and the injury prevention and rehabilitation needs of individuals.
