BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN EXERCISE SCIENCE

Students who pursue a degree in exercise science focus on the study of human movement within a biomechanical and physiological context: including aspects of anatomy, physiology, chemistry, physics, biology, nutrition and applied training principles.

The Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science Program prepares students to promote wellness and regular participation in appropriate exercise and physical activity for a diverse population of individuals. Students are prepared to work as exercise and fitness professionals in a variety of settings. Program graduates provide leadership, programming, and personal training in community and commercial fitness centers, YMCA and YWCA centers, hospital wellness/fitness centers, hospital cardiac rehabilitation centers, community recreation programs, corporate fitness centers, and serve as strength and conditioning coaches for athletic teams or personal training entrepreneurs.

The Exercise Science Program curriculum is based on the standards of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and standards of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
