The Exercise and Health Science curriculum (44 credits) is structured to provide students the flexibility to select courses, in consultation with their faculty advisor, that will enable them to achieve their academic and career goals relative to physical activity, exercise, and health. Courses within the Exercise and Health Science curriculum are purposefully clustered around content themes and academic skills, thereby creating a skeleton structure to help ensure all students engage the diversity of the field, practice the academic skills multiple times in completing the degree, and achieve the learning outcomes.
