Bachelor of Science - Exercise Science

The emphasis of the exercise science program is designed to give students a scientific understanding of the body’s response to exercise and the ability to analyze the efficiency of human movement. Graduates in Exercise Science will have the knowledge to prescribe exercise to a wide variety of populations and instruct individuals on proper body mechanics and techniques of movement. Students explore exercise and motor behavior from an interdisciplinary perspective both from within the Exercise Science Program and across campus with courses in Innersole, Impedances of Human Motion, Exercise Physiology, Motor Learning, Exercise Prescription, Training and Conditioning, Nutrition, Chemistry, and Biology. Practical application of the curriculum is enhanced through lab assignments, an on-campus “Service Learning Program” and internship experiences.
