Careers in Exercise Science
The graduate program in Clinical and Experimental Exercise Science prepares students for accelerated
professional advancement and for further academic study. Exercise science
students are trained for positions in rehabilitation and clinical agencies as
well as for graduate school and advanced research.
The graduate degree prepares students for testing and
certification in clinical physiology by the American College of Sports Medicine
(ACSM), the premier certifying body for
clinical, health, and fitness standards. The degree will service individuals
wanting to start a career in clinical exercise physiology, medical and allied
health professionals who wish to enhance their skills and training, and
professionals seeking a career change in fields aligned with clinical
physiology. The degree will also serve graduates with a bachelor's degree and
medical and allied health professionals who want to obtain research training
with an emphasis in exercise physiology.
Examples of Careers a M.S. in Exercise Science will prepare for:
Clinical Exercise Physiology (non-thesis option or
thesis option)
- Clinical Exercise Physiologist
- Clinical Research Technician
- Sport Medicine Exercise Specialist
Experimental Exercise Physiology (thesis
option)
