The undergraduate exercise science program equips you for starting roles in fitness and exercise careers, or for advanced studies in exercise science and related health fields. Our curriculum may also help you qualify for certifications from professional organizations. Admission to the exercise science major requires successful completion of the pre-exercise science requirements. The program features foundational courses in exercise science and physical education, along with complementary studies in chemistry, biology, health science, and physiology. Furthermore, it provides excellent preparation for advanced education in medicine, physical therapy, physician assistant programs, and graduate studies in exercise science. Full-time students typically complete the degree in four years, while part-time students may take longer. We recommend consulting with your academic advisor about course loads and degree completion timelines. This program is particularly valuable for those pursuing careers in fitness and wellness.
