The Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Science (BS) degree has several specializations that allow graduates to prepare for careers and post-graduate training in health and rehabilitation professions, education, exercise prescription, management of exercise programs, and coaching. For students interested in health and rehabilitation careers, the BS with a concentration in Pre-Rehabilitation Science gives students a degree that is well aligned with entrance requirements of advanced study in health care and allied health professions like athletic training, physical therapy, occupational therapy, orthotics/prosthetics, chiropractic, or physician's assistant. For students interested in a career in athletic training, the Pre-Rehabilitation Sciences concentration also offers a 3/2 dual program though which students may complete both BS degree and Master of Science in Athletic Training degree within 5 years. Current information on the 3/2 program admission requirements can be found here. The BS with a concentration in Clinical Exercise Science prepares graduates for careers in cardiopulmonary, clinical exercise physiology, and diagnostic testing and programming for cardiac rehabilitation and other special populations.
