The Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science major offers students the option of pursuing a career in exercise science in a non-teaching format. Flexibility was a prime consideration in the development of this major. Direct consultation with the leading corporation in the rapidly expanding field of advanced athletic training helped shape this major, which makes it unique to any other exercise science major offered.In addition it will also prepare the exceptional student for graduate education in exercise science or related fields.
Successful completion of this major will require a grade of “C” or better, graded on an “A” through “F” letter basis in the following classes: Performance Sport Assessment & Athletic Development I, Teaching Weight Training, Biomechanics, Biomechanics Lab, Performance Sport Assessment & Athletic Development II, Physiology of Exercise, and Advanced Exercise Science.
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the major in Exercise Science, the student will be able to:
- Integrate knowledge from various Exercise Science disciplines (Exercise Physiology, Biomechanics and Motor Learning) into an evidence based approach to training. (This learning outcome directly addresses Institutional Learning Outcomes II and IV.)
- Administer valid and reliable automated performance assessments, interpret the data, and communicate the results of those performance assessments to the learner. (This learning outcome directly addresses Institutional Learning Outcomes II, III and VI.)
- Develop and implement developmentally appropriate training experiences based upon interpretation of assessment data. This learning outcome directly addresses Institutional Learning Outcomes II, III and VI.)
- Demonstrate effective use of verbal, visual, and kinesthetic feedback to enhance the training process. (This learning outcome directly addresses Institutional Learning Outcome III.)
- Demonstrate effective use of media and technology to enhance the training process. (This learning outcome directly addresses Institutional Learning Outcomes III and VI.)
- Demonstrate effective use of instructional and time management strategies into the training process. (This learning outcome directly addresses Institutional Learning Outcome VI.)
