Advisor: Timothy J. Michael - Exercise Science
1054 Student Recreation Center

36 credit hours

The Exercise Science program is designed to provide the student with a detailed understanding of the physical and functional adaptations to movement through advanced study of exercise physiology and biomechanics. The program integrates traditional lecture-based courses with hands-on laboratory experiences. One of the major strengths of the program is the combining of the practical application of exercise science with current research findings in exercise physiology and biomechanics. Graduates pursue careers in fitness, athletic, and clinically based settings. Graduates also pursue advanced degrees in exercise physiology, biomechanics or other professional programs such as physical therapy and medicine.
