Four-year plan
You’ll build knowledge where it counts. The bachelor’s in sports science program follows a straightforward four-year plan consisting of courses in foundational topics as well as advanced and elective courses. You’ll take courses ranging from anatomy and physiology to nutrition to biomechanics to advanced strength training. Learn more about the exercise and sports science courses you’ll take.

Or, take the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) exam to become a certified exercise physiologist.
