B.S. MAJOR - EXERCISE AND REHABILITATIVE SCIENCE 72 - 81 S.H. (No Minor Required)
A student choosing to major in Exercise and Rehabilitative Science may choose one of four options: Athletic Training, Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation, Exercise Science, or Movement Science.  Each of these options leads to a Bachelor of Science degree.  The programs in Exercise and Rehabilitative Science have been designed in accordance with the requirements of the following leading national organizations:  American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA), and the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
  • Students interested in working with cardiac or pulmonary patients in a clinical setting should choose the Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation option.
  • Students interested in focusing on injury assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries should choose the Athletic Training option.
  • Students interested in exercise and health programming in a variety of settings such as fitness centers, worksite settings, or athletic programs should choose the Exercise Science option.
  • Students interested in pursuing graduate studies in exercise or rehabilitative sciences (such as kinesiology, biomechanics, exercise physiology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician's assistant, chiropractic medicine) should choose the Movement Science option.  Additional information on exercise science career opportunities can be found at http://www.acsm.org, http://www.nata.org, http://www.nsca-lift.org, and http://www.css.edu/asep.
