EXERCISE AND REHABILITATIVE SCIENCE: EXERCISE SCIENCE (ERES)
Students majoring in this option are prepared to administer comprehensive health and fitness programs to a variety of clients. Through coursework and other experiences, students learn how to design and administer appropriate strength, power, flexibility, agility, and cardiorespiratory programs based on clients' goals, needs, and abilities. Students also learn how to administer health appraisals, assess client needs, design and administer appropriate programs such as: smoking cessation, low back, blood pressure, weight control, and nutrition counseling. Employment opportunities include corporate facilities, fitness centers, hospital wellness programs, community centers, or athletic programs.
Students may choose to specialize in areas such as strength training, personal training, nutrition, strength and conditioning with athletes, or working with unique populations through practicum and internship experiences. Upon completion of the degree, students are prepared to sit for American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) certification as a Health Fitness Instructor and/or National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA) certification as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist or Certified Personal Trainer.
Academic graduation requirements include:
- Attain a "C" or better in all major courses.
- Attain a 2.5 or better overall GPA.
