About<\/h2>\n

The BS in Exercise Science will prepare you for success in a wide range of health and fitness careers. Our program is accredited by the Committee of Accreditation for the Exercise Sciences, ensuring a high-quality and industry-aligned education.<\/p>\n

In this program, you’ll study anatomy and physiology, mechanical kinesiology, nutrition, and first aid. You’ll also gain an understanding of exercise physiology and have the opportunity to work toward different certifications.<\/p>\n

Depending on your future goals, you’ll choose a specific emphasis track and get hands-on experience in that area.<\/p>\n

At the Jack R. Leighton Human Performance Laboratory<\/a>, qualified students can interact with and counsel clients of varied ages and physical abilities or participate in research. In the lab, you may administer exercise tolerance tests, prescribe exercise, provide nutrition information, and analyze body composition.<\/p>\n

The Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science offers four tracks and prepares students to work in a variety of health, fitness, wellness, and sports performance environments.\u00a0 Our exercise science track prepares students to work with a range of populations including the general population (i.e., apparently healthy) in commercial fitness and corporate wellness centers, populations with chronic diseases in clinical facilities, and athletes in sports performance settings. The BS in Exercise Science was accredited by the Committee on Accreditation for the Exercise Sciences (CoAES) in June 2024.<\/p>\n

Our pre-professional tracks prepare students to apply to graduate programs in allied health care. \u00a0While our pre-professional tracks are specific to athletic training<\/a>, occupational\u00a0therapy<\/a>, and\u00a0physical\u00a0therapy<\/a>, an increasing number of students use the extensive science requirements to prepare for applications to other programs in allied health care including chiropractic, nursing, and physician\u2019s assistant.\u00a0 The degree also lays a strong foundation for graduate degrees in kinesiology and related fields.\u00a0 The course work prepares students to pursue certifications from esteemed organizations in the industry including American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), and the American Council on Exercise (ACE).<\/p>\n
