Offered in cooperation with the Department of Exercise Science and Sport Studies of the School of Arts and Sciences, this program offers four options:
Exercise Physiology. The Exercise Physiology Option provides students with a strong science foundation emphasizing preparation for further specialized graduate study or direct entrance into a variety of fields related to exercise physiology, biomechanics, and sport medicine and direct entrance to upper-level certifications in the rehabilitation and fitness industries.
Exercise Science. The Exercise Science Option provides the student with a strong science foundation focusing on human anatomy and physiology, with an emphasis on preparation for further specialized graduate study or direct entrance into the job market. The rigor and broad science base of this option make it appropriate for students who wish to go into medicine or physical therapy.
Applied Kinesiology. Applied Kinesiology is essentially identical to Exercise Science excluding the three labs (Exercise Physiology, Systems Physiology Lab, and Exercise Testing and Prescription) and with 3 additional 377 elective credits at the junior 300+ level or senior 400+ levels.
Sport Management. The Sport Management Option is designed to meet the needs of the popular and growing interest in the management of sport facilities and programs. Graduates may choose to pursue an advanced degree or to enter the profession in one of the many dimensions of sport organizations and high school, collegiate, and/or professional sport programs.
