Master of Science in Exercise Physiology

Baylor University's master's program in Exercise Physiology is acknowledged as a STEM program according to the Carnegie classification. Exercise physiology is the scientific study of acute physiological responses and chronic adaptations to a wide range of exercise conditions. Exercise physiologists- Use exercise as a non-invasive means to investigate changes in physiologic systems, organs, tissues, cells, organelles and molecules. Study the effect of exercise on pathology and the mechanisms by which exercise can reduce or reverse disease progression. Discover health and fitness benefits from different doses and types of physical activity and exercise. Advances in sports performance, recovery from intense and prolonged training and adaptations to extreme environmental conditions can be largely attributed to the field of exercise physiology.Baylor University’s MS in Exercise Physiology program prepares students for academic careers with an intense research focus, such as pursuing a PhD or Clinical Research Assistant or for non-academic careers such as Clinical Exercise Physiologists, Strength and Conditioning Specialists, Wellness Coaches, Fitness Consultants, and Gym Managers
