Exercise and Sport Science (BS)
Exercise and Sport Science is the study of movement and the associated functional responses and adaptations the human body experiences. This major will provide theoretical foundations for functional assessments, exercise testing, and exercise prescription in both healthy and clinical populations. This four-year Bachelor of Science degree program is offered on the Demorest campus and will give students hands on experience and skill preparation to assess clients and plan human movement-based programs that meet their health and wellness needs. This rigorous, multidisciplinary program incorporates classes from the traditional sciences (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics), health sciences (Anatomy, Physiology, and Nutrition), and athletic training (Orthopedic Assessment, Therapeutic Exercise, and Biomechanics). The course plan in Exercise and Sport Science prepares students for a variety of careers and graduate programs, including prerequisites for physical therapy, athletic training, medical school, and certifications offered through the American College of Sports Medicine (the Health Fitness Specialist-HFS and/or Personal Training certification) and the National Strength and Conditioning Association (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist-CSCS and/ or Certified Personal Trainer). These students are NOT eligible to take the National Athletic Trainers’ Association BOC examination.
