Exercise Science (BS)

The exercise science major prepares students for professional practice in a variety of fields including exercise and fitness training, hospital-based and corporate wellness programming as well as preparation for graduate study in exercise physiology, medicine, physical therapy, and other health science programs. Exercise science, as defined by the American College of Sports Medicine, is the study of movement and the associated functional responses and adaptations. The field of exercise science ranges from the study of how organ systems function at the cellular level to enhancing the biomechanical efficiency of the individual. The benefits of exercise have been medically recognized and accepted for their role in preventive medicine and in the rehabilitative process of health and wellbeing. Professionals in exercise science are prepared to examine, evaluate, prescribe, and manage the health and fitness of healthy people across the life span, as well as promote healthy lifestyles and prevention programs for individuals and communities.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the major, students will be able to:

  • Write well on exams, short papers, and long papers.
  • Make oral reports of varying lengths, either alone or as part of a team.
  • Exhibit critical thinking when reading texts, lecture supplements, and other materials.
  • Recognize and use connections of exercise science to biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics.
  • Demonstrate knowledge about the broad core of exercise science.
  • Use ethical scientific methods in obtaining and evaluating exercise science data.
  • Exhibit skills in such areas as First Aid, CPR, Principles of Nutrition, Exercise Prescription and Safe Exercise Testing.
