In the BS in Clinical Exercise Science degree program, students develop a deep understanding of how the human body responds to exercise, changes due to exercise and benefits from exercise. Hands-on laboratory courses with innovative exercise, metabolic and cardiopulmonary equipment provide students with the necessary skills and experience to be hired as exercise physiologists upon graduation.
Upper-division and special topics courses dive into the physiology and exercise prescription for those with chronic cardiovascular, metabolic or neuromuscular conditions, preparing students to prevent, treat or reverse many of these conditions.
Students gain the knowledge necessary for passing National Commission for Certifying Agencies accredited certifications for exercise physiology and for pursuing Level 2 Exercise Is Medicine credentialing by the American College of Sports Medicine.
