The suggested program below is a recommended process; you should consult with an health care professions advisor no later than the beginning of your Junior Year.
Freshman Year
Enroll in liberal arts requirements; concentrate on chemistry, math and entry-level biology courses.
Sophomore Year
Continue with liberal arts requirements, but include human anatomy and physiology. Also consider continuing chemistry and begin taking physics courses. Students should enroll in EXSCI 135 either as freshmen or by the beginning of the sophomore year. This course will provide students with the numerous opportunities available within the Exercise Science discipline as well as prepare them for successful completion of this discipline.
Junior Year
Students must declare a major during their junior year. After four semesters, students should have decided whether to pursue a pre-medical or pre-health care profession. Those who pursue the latter should continue with the ExSci core and select appropriate electives from the ExSci curriculum. Students must consult a pre-health care professions advisor and investigate the various health care professional options, concentrating on that profession’s graduate school requirements for application.
Senior Year
All pre-health care professions students will present a senior research paper or project as well as do volunteer work or internship within the chosen profession. Complete Graduate Record Examiniation (GRE) and prepare graduate applications.
