GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN EXERCISE SCIENCE
The certificate in Exercise Science consists of 11 credits. Fulfillment of
the certificate requires 2 credits in Ex Sci 596 Seminar, and the choice
of 9 credits from the following courses: Ex Sci 563 Exercise Immunology (3 cr.),
Ex Sci 565 Muscle Physiology & Exercise Bioenergetics (3 cr.), Ex Sci 567
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Physiology (3 cr.), Ex Sci 568 Assessment and
Prescription (3 cr.). These courses provide a strong foundation for graduate
studies in Exercise Science with emphasis in cellular and molecular mechanisms.
Students completing the certificate may use 9 of the 11 credits toward a
graduate degree in Exercise Science. Most likely,
students will use non-seminar course work toward their degree program.
Application Requirements
Applicants should have a bachelor's degree in exercise science, or in a
related field with a GPA of 3.00 or better during the last half of undergraduate
work.
Prerequisite course work for the M.S. degree and Graduate Certificate in
Exercise Science includes undergraduate course work in exercise physiology;
exercise prescription, exercise techniques/assessment, biomechanics, human
anatomy, physiology, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and
biochemistry (recommended). Academic course deficiencies will require additional
course work prior to enrollment in graduate courses in exercise science.
See Admission Requirements
for application procedures. Applicants to the Graduate Certificate program
follow the same procedures as those for the M.S. degree. Nine of the 11
required credits may be applied toward a graduate degree in Exercise Science.
