Students pursuing the BS degree in Exercise Science will choose from one of three concentration tracks*:
BS in Exercise Science with a concentration in Performance and Fitness (students wishing to be personal trainers, strength, conditioning, and/or fitness professionals);
BS in Exercise Science with a concentration in Pre-Professional (students wishing to continue their education in a professional school such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant, etc.); or
BS in Exercise Science with a concentration in Sports Medicine (students interested in the area of athletic training who may want to pursue that degree at the graduate level).
*The concentration area will also be noted on a student’s transcripts.
Exercise Science is a natural fit for students looking to go into medicine and physical therapy/rehabilitation because our program focuses on primary prevention. Graduates in Exercise Science are qualified for entry level and managerial positions in corporate, hospital, government, school and private health and fitness programs. Graduates will also be qualified to take several American College of Sports Medicine and National Strength and Conditioning Association certification examinations. Students will also be qualified to pursue graduate degrees in human performance (both research and clinically based).
