• Academic Good Standing for B.S. in Exercise Physiology

  By the end of the fourth semester of study, Exercise Physiology (EXP) student majors must have earned at least a 2.75 cumulative GPA. Students not meeting or maintaining the program cumulative GPA requirement will be notified and given one additional semester to meet or exceed the minimum cumulative GPA. If at the end of the fourth semester of study the student still has not earned the required program cumulative GPA, they will be dismissed from the major.

  Students must pass SES-361 Exercise Physiology and SES-361L Lab, and SES-370 Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescription and SES-370L Lab, with a C or better and show proof of current CPR/AED certification prior to being admitted to SES-486 Practicum. Practicum in Exercise Physiology requires at least six hours per week of guided field experience in laboratory testing and research, exercise leadership, exercise prescription and programming, and fitness assessment. (See other SES-486 requirements in the course descriptions section.)

  SES-499 (Internship in Exercise Physiology) is a field experience in a hospital-based wellness or cardiac rehabilitation program, a corporate or community fitness center, or sports training facility.
