Unsurprisingly, many current or former student-athletes seek out careers that are connected to athletic performance in some way.Here at Life University (Life U), we offer many degree programs that support future athletically-focused careers, such as our B.S. in Exercise Science and our M.S. in Sport Health Science.

She keenly remembers asking a teammate about the prominent sculpture that serves as a key campus landmark, the detailed bronze hands that she later learned were modeled after Life U founder Dr. Sid Williams performing a toggle adjustment. That is when Tsoi learned about Life U’s rich chiropractic history, unearthing a latent curiosity in chiropractic care and holistic healing from career talks she had participated in back in high school.
