Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Requirements (50 Hours):

This concentration is designed for students interested in pursuing post-graduate study in exercise science and for students interested in working in a clinical (e.g., cardiac rehabilitation), community, or corporate wellness setting with a variety of populations. Research experience through directed studies, internships, or practicums prepares students fore exercise science careers in academia, industry, and/or medicine. This program of study also prepares students for successful completion of certifications offered by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).
