This rigorous 65-hour major is designed to prepare students who wish to enter the field of exercise science. Students are exposed to a strong science background (26 required ancillary hours in biology, chemistry, and physics) making them excellent candidates for employment opportunities in exercise related areas (cardiac rehabilitation), advanced graduate studies (motor behavior, exercise physiology, nutrition), or possible professional school (medical, dental, occupational therapy, physical therapy). Additional coursework may be necessary to fulfill prerequisites for post-graduate study in fields such as physical therapy, medicine, and related areas. Faculty advisors will assist students in choosing electives in this program. Students interested in cardiac rehabilitation are encouraged to seek the Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist certification or the Health Fitness Instructor certification offered by the American College of Sports Medicine during the internship and capstone courses.
