About the Department

The Division of Academic & Student Affairs (DASA) is where students discover connections and community. It is where students live, where they gather, where they improve themselves, each other, and their university. DASA is where students seek guidance and support, both in and outside of the classroom. The division serves all students at NC State. The Division of Academic and Student Affairs is the place to work for values-driven faculty and staff who are passionate about promoting the success of the whole student.

The mission of the Department of Health and Exercise Studies (HES) is to foster a supportive academic environment in which to educate and inspire students to build and sustain a healthy body and mind for lifelong productivity and wellbeing. HES offers a variety of both physical activity and lecture courses that fulfill GEP and minor curricula. As the sole provider of a key general education component, the department is uniquely situated as the only department in the university through which all undergraduate students must matriculate. The department’s four academic minors include Coaching Education, Health, Outdoor Leadership, and Sports Science. More information about the department can be found at https://hes.dasa.ncsu.edu/.

Over the next year, the Department of Health and Exercise Studies will transition from the Division of Academic and Student Affairs (DASA) to the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHASS). The transition will create new opportunities for collaboration and closer connections with related disciplines while providing an academic structure that supports the department’s continued growth and success. Candidates joining the department will be part of this exciting transition and contribute to the department’s continued development within CHASS.
