专业概况

在这里学什么？

The aim of the Exercise Science program of study is to prepare well-rounded graduates that demonstrate expertise in exercise physiology and exercise testing and prescription for future careers in academia, sports, healthcare, and rehabilitation.

During the first two years (freshman and sophomore), students take courses from the areas of English, mathematics, history and social, physical, and biological sciences.

During the last two years (junior and senior), students take courses predominately in the area of exercise science (e.g. kinesiology, biomechanics, exercise physiology, etc.). During the last two years students are involved in many laboratory-related classes (e.g. exercise prescription, instrumentation, and practicum I). Additionally, during a student’s last semester, he/she is required to complete a supervised internship (e.g. practicum II & III) at a site external, typically, to Southern Arkansas University (e.g. wellness clinic, sports program, exercise testing laboratory, or cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation program).

Finally, upon graduation, we recommend that students pursue exercise science certification/registration from the American College of Sports Medicine. The recommended exams from the American College of Sports Medicine are the Health and Fitness Specialist exam or the Clinical Exercise Specialist exam.

Career Opportunities

Students with a B.S. in Exercise Science work in a variety of settings/careers such as being a personal trainer with a fitness facility, working with athletes in sports programs, performing physical assessments for employment/disability, and working in cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation programs. A B.S. in Exercise Science is also a good choice for preparation (background) for professional and graduate programs (Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Exercise Physiology, etc.). However, many of these programs may require additional coursework (e.g. advanced physics, anatomy/physiology, chemistry, etc.) not covered within this program.

Learning Goals
