The undergraduate exercise science program is designed to prepare students for entry level positions in the exercise and fitness field, or for post-graduate study in exercise science or other health-related disciplines. The program is also designed to prepare students for appropriate professional organization certifications. Since 1984, the undergraduate exercise science major has been providing educational experiences to students interested in seeking entry level positions in a variety of health and fitness occupations. In addition, the program can prepare students for further study in areas such as medicine, physical therapy, physician assistance and graduate programs in the exercise sciences. The curriculum includes core courses in exercise science and physical education as well as classes in supporting academic areas such as chemistry, biology, health science, and physiology. Practical experience is gained through 90 hours of practicum work and a 500-hour internship (12 credits) during the student's senior semester of study. Opportunities for practical and internships are available on and off campus. Some of the on-campus opportunities include working in the Human Performance Laboratory, the Adult Physical Fitness Program and the Fisher Institute of Health and Well-Being.
