Bachelor of Science - Exercise Physiology - Pre-Medical Studies

Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology program gives students a background in the scientific concepts of disease risk reduction, nutrition, exercise programming, and the techniques used to evaluate fitness and health status. Students, in addition, are given an introductory background in the psychological, legal, and business aspects inherent in clinical, wellness, and fitness settings.

The practical component of this program includes a student fitness trainer practicum and a senior year field experience (internship) at one or two off-campus sites. In the practicum, course students develop and implement physical fitness programs in a one-on-one situation. Internship placements are designed to expose students to the myriad career positions and opportunities available for Exercise Physiology graduates and provide networking opportunities and valuable hands-on experience. 

The curriculum content also prepares students for certifications offered through recognized national organizations such as the American College of Sports Medicine, the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and the International Society of Sports Nutrition.
