A Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Exercise Science is one that combines our current strength in anatomy, physiology, from the basic sciences, with new courses in the exercise sciences. This type of program would be attractive to students who need sufficient coursework from biology to prepare them to assess aspects of the human body, but who do not need a full chemistry sequence that is a part of science majors. This type of program may be of interest to students who are interested in basic science training in a health-field-based program who are interested sport and wellness programs, a variety of professional setting such as sport and wellness programs, community recreational agencies, hospitals and clinics, and both private and corporate agencies. This major could prepare students who wish to further pursue advanced education in athletic training, exercise physiology, personal training, wellness coaching, athletic coaching, athletic management, or massage therapy. It may also serve as a pre-professional program for students interested in pursuing a career in physical therapy, sports medicine, or as a physician assistant.
