Program Information

Exercise science is a scientifically-based curriculum which includes coursework in the basic sciences, the physiology and biomechanics of exercise, fitness assessment and exercise testing, exercise prescription and training, behavior modification, and the clinical aspects of exercise. Upon program completion, students can pursue employment in a fitness center setting, health promotion, or personal training.

Transfer Notes: The bachelor’s degree in exercise science will prepare a student for a career in the areas of physical fitness and health promotion, cardiac rehabilitation, and fitness assessment and exercise prescription. It is also an excellent choice if you plan to enter graduate or chiropractic school or a professional program in physical therapy, occupational therapy, or medicine.
