History

The BSES Program at Seattle University is a derivative of the professional responsibilities of Dr. Dan G. Tripps, Director of the Center for the Study of Sport & Exercise. As a former head coach of elite level athletes, former Executive Director of the Olympic Scientific Congress, and former U.S. representative of Sport For All, Dr. Tripps has provided high performance services in competitive athletics and medically directed exercise services for constituents in private and public sector enterprises. The degree, launched in fall 2008, incorporates teaching faculty, laboratory equipment, and practical experiences that arise from 30 years of his professional leadership.
