The exercise physiology specialization prepares students for a career in the health professions or for graduate study in exercise science. The curriculum provides a strong basic science background and requires additional course work in the biological aspects of exercise. All required courses must be completed before the internship.
To remain ‘on track’ for this major, a student must meet the following critical-tracking criteria. A student can earn no more than two Cs in the critical-tracking courses. The critical-tracking courses appear in bold.
Semester 1:
- 2.0 UF GPA required for semesters 1-5
- Complete 2 of 9 critical-tracking courses with a 3.0 GPA on tracking course work (PSY 2012, (SPC 2600 or AEE 3030C), CHM 2045, CHM 2045L, CHM 2046, CHM 2046L, BSC 2010, BSC 2010L, BSC 2011, BSC 2011L, (MAC 2311 or MAC 2233), PET 2320C, PET 2350C, PET 3351C) – excluding labs
Semester 2:
- Complete 2 additional critical-tracking courses with a 3.0 GPA on tracking course work – excluding labs
Semester 3:
- Complete 2 additional critical-tracking courses with a 3.0 GPA on tracking course work – excluding labs
Semester 4:
- Complete all 9 critical-tracking courses with a 3.0 GPA on all tracking course work – including all associated labs
Semester 5:
