Concentration: Exercise Science
Two Options:
The Research Option is designed for those students who intend to pursue further graduate studies or careers in scientific or medical research. This option involves a more intensive study of laboratory methods and statistical and research design. A thesis is required.
The Applied Option is intended for those students who plan to pursue professional careers in Exercise or Applied Sciences (corporate/adult fitness, cardiac rehabilitation, strength and conditioning). This option involves additional required course work and an internship. Coursework is modified to meet student needs.
Prerequisites for the Exercise Science option include a year of Anatomy and Physiology and Exercise Physiology.
