Exercise Science and Applied Gerontology, Bachelor’s Master’s Combined Program
Objective: This combined bachelor’s/master’s degree program is designed to provide qualified students the opportunity to complete both degree programs in as little as five years. The successful student will earn a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Exercise Science and a Master of Science (M.S.) in Applied Gerontology (MGRN).
Undergraduate students in Exercise Science must apply for admission to the 4+1 B.S. in Exercise Science / M.S. in Applied Gerontology Combined Program. Students should apply to the 4+1 combined program in the semester in which they are completing their 75th credit hour so that they can begin graduate coursework the semester thereafter; undergraduate students can begin the 4+1 combined program in the fall or spring semester. Twelve hours of courses taken at the 500-level will be dual counted towards both degrees. Students then have the option to apply to the graduate school and continue progress towards the MGRN degree upon completion of the bachelor’s degree.
Requirements: Completion of all degree requirements for both the B.S. in Exercise Science and the M.S. in Applied Gerontology, with twelve credits of graduate-level courses that will count toward undergraduate requirements.
