Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science (Pre-Professional)

The aim of the Exercise Science (Pre-Professional) 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 in the areas of English, mathematics, history, and social, physical, and biological sciences.

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

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.
