Exercise Physiology - B.S.

Students will also be given the opportunity to assist graduate students in research, data collection and clinical assessments in the Laboratory of Clinical and Applied Physiology. Established in 1983, the laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-science instrumentation enabling students to gain hands-on, clinical experiences in a sophisticated exercise physiology laboratory. Students will learn how to use the equipment and apply it to real-life situations, on-going research, and clinical studies.

Undergraduate students majoring in Exercise Physiology should consider applying to the Accelerated Master’s Program in Exercise Physiology at the end of their junior year or during their senior year. Following completion of their bachelor’s degree, students will be able to obtain a Master’s degree within one year. For more details and a brochure, exercise physiology undergraduate majors should speak to their advisors. Students applying to the Master’s program must submit all application materials and meet the admission criteria established under the "Admissions, Financial Aid and Scholarship" section.

• Students may pursue a pre-med track concurrent with the Exercise Physiology major and should inform their advisor if selecting this track.
  Exercise Physiology requires that students maintain a major GPA of 2.75. Students with a major GPA below 2.75 will have one semester to raise their GPA to meet the requirement. Failure to do so may lead to dismissal from the major.
• Students transferring from another college or university must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above in order to be considered for admission to the major.
• A grade of “C” or better is required for each course applied toward the major. Students are allowed to retake a course one time.
• All 100 level courses and KIN 202, KIN 212, KIN 221 and KIN 232 are open to non-majors. All other courses are open to majors and minors only. KIN 202 is only open to science majors.
• All 300- and 400-level courses except those in a STEM cognate, are restricted to declared Exercise Physiology majors only.
• Seniors are required to participate in the General Education Assessment prior to graduation as part of the SACS accreditation review process.
