Brief Description of the Program:

The Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Sciences: Exercise Physiology Track is designed to prepare individuals to work in the fields of exercise testing, clinical exercise physiology, strength and conditioning and adult fitness. The undergraduate Exercise Physiology Track has two specializations: the Clinical Exercise Physiology/Adult Fitness Specialization and the Strength and Conditioning/Adult Fitness Specialization. The Clinical Exercise Physiology/ Adult Fitness Specialization focuses on the physiological effects of exercise and training in the prevention and treatment of selected disorders. This track will prepare students for employment in clinical exercise physiology settings and adult fitness settings.
The Strength and Conditioning/Adult Fitness Specialization focuses on the effects of training on the improvement of performance and the role of exercise in the prevention of disease. This specialization provides students with the competencies required by the National Strength and Conditioning Association’s certification as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.  In both specializations, courses are geared as both preparation courses for certifications and extensions of applied research for field application.
