Coursework in the major that contributes to the understanding of human movement includes: biomechanics; exercise physiology; motor learning and development; nutrition. The program is augmented by foundational courses in: anatomy; physiology; psychology; biology; chemistry; physics. Many of the careers associated with a degree in exercise science require additional education, certification, or licensure beyond an undergraduate degree. As such, upon graduation, students are prepared to enter additional educational programs in: medicine; physical therapy; athletic training/sports medicine; exercise physiology; biomechanics; fitness management; nutrition; teaching physical education; other health and movement related fields. The Exercise Science Department offers three emphasis areas for the Bachelor of Science degree: Health Professions; Human Performance; Pedagogy/Teaching Physical Education. The Exercise Science Department emphasizes hands on approach to learning with laboratory experiences for many of its courses. In addition, the Department is committed to undergraduate research as a key element of the academic experience. Students are exposed to research throughout the program, culminating in an independent research project in their terminal experience. Students are encouraged to participate in internships and volunteer throughout the community in venues relating to their particular emphasis and future professional aspirations.
