Note:
Exercise science majors must have a grade of C- or better in courses used to satisfy requirements of the major.
BI 234 , BI 235 , and BI 236 , Human Anatomy and Physiology, are prerequisites to several major required and elective courses. See course descriptions for specific prerequisites.
This major does not lead to a degree but instead, leads into the clinical student teaching program in the College of Education. Pre-education courses are required prior to clinical student teaching. Upon successful completion of the professional education core and clinical student teaching, students receive a degree in Education with a focus in physical education. Requirements for admission into education programs can be obtained from the College of Education.
