Bachelor of Science Degree in Exercise Science - Professional Track

The Exercise Science Professional Track program provides an extraordinary education through integrative teaching, research opportunities, and experiential learning related to human movement. Our goal is to empower students to pursue careers or graduate education in clinical professions (Physical Therapy, Chiropractic, Athletic Training) , fitness, wellness, sport performance, public health, and research.

Upon completion of the major in Exercise Science, the student will be able to:

• Integrate knowledge from various Exercise Science disciplines (Exercise Physiology, Biomechanics and Motor Learning) into an evidence based approach to training (This learning outcome directly addresses Institutional Learning Outcomes II, III, and VI.)
• Administer valid and reliable automated performance assessments, interpret and communicate results to users of the information, and develop and implement appropriate training experience from the assessment data. (This learning outcome directly addresses Institutional Learning Outcomes II, III, and VI.)
• Demonstrate effective use of multiple methods of feedback, including the use of media and technology, to enhance the training process. (This learning outcome directly addresses Institutional Learning Outcomes III and VI.)
• Demonstrate effective use of instructional and time management strategies into the training process. (This learning outcome directly addresses Institutional Learning Outcome VI.)
• Students in the Professional Track option will demonstrate an understanding of the research process through the completion of Undergraduate Research Project. (This learning outcome directly addresses Institutional Learning Outcome II and VI.)
• Students in the Sport Management Track option will engage in meaning professional practice through the completion of Internship. (This learning outcome directly addresses Institutional Learning Outcome IV and VII.)
