Lakeland University exercise science students Casey Takahashi and Aaron Rose were recently accepted into professional/graduate programs.
Takahashi, will attend Western University of Health Sciences where he will pursue his Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Rose will attend The College of St. Scholastica for his Master’s Degree in Athletic Training.
Takahashi and Rose worked collaboratively on three research studies in the Lakeland Exercise Science Research Laboratory, culminating in the presentation of this research at state and national scientific conferences.
Takahashi was involved in several other exercise science research studies yielding nearly two dozen research presentations and published abstracts. Each student also participated in several career-focused internships as part of the exercise science program.
“Preparing our students for the rigors of graduate and professional school is a goal of our program, and I’m very pleased to see this result for Casey and Aaron,” said Lakeland Associate Professor of Exercise Science Bill Ebben. “Graduate and professional school degrees position our Lakeland graduates for great success as leaders in the health care industry.”
