Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology
We offer the opportunity to pursue a bachelor's degree, master's degree and PhD in Exercise Physiology.
The BS in Exercise Physiology is a preparatory program for graduate or professional school. Graduates continue their education in areas such as medicine, physical therapy, dentistry, physician assistant, pharmacy, occupational therapy and exercise physiology. The program is designed to provide a strong background in basic and clinical science and exercise physiology, and includes courses in human cadaver anatomy, human physiology, kinesiology, clinical laboratory sciences, clinical applications to health and disease, and nutrition.
Exercise physiologists are trained to evaluate people in the areas of cardiovascular fitness, respiratory function, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, neuromuscular integration and body composition. They are also trained to assess medical needs and conditions and provide exercise programs, based on the results of these evaluations, that increase the functional capacity of the participants and patients.
