Required Courses
Additional Requirements
See concentrations for required courses.
Exercise science majors must maintain an overall GPA of 2.5 or better and a grade of “C” or better for all courses required in the major and the concentration in fitness, strength, and condition concentration. The following courses are recommended but not required:
These recommended courses are not required for the exercise science major but could be prerequisite courses required by professional or graduate programs depending on the student’s preferred professional path – some professional and graduate programs require them, while others do not. All exercise science majors should refer to the health professions section of the course catalog for all supporting courses specific to the indicated preprofessional preparation program and work with health professions advisors.
