Bachelor of Science - Exercise Science MajorThe School of Science and Technology offers a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree with a major in Exercise Science. Laboratory CoursesMany courses in the School of Science and Technology include both a class and a laboratory component. The laboratory and class components complement each other as integrated elements of a course that facilitate the accomplishment of the Course Outcome Goals. As such they cannot be separated. Students must pass both the lab and class. If a student fails either the class or the laboratory component, they will receive a fail grade and must repeat the class. CurriculumGeneral Education Requirements (60 hours)The primary objective of the general education requirements is to guarantee that all students seeking a degree will be exposed to a common set of learning experiences that draw from a broad spectrum of subject areas. These common learning experiences are designed so that a student who completes the general education curriculum will achieve the general education program goals as well as take introductory courses in the exercise science major that are prerequisite to courses in the program of study curriculum. Additional Requirements (3 hours)The physical education requirement is comprised of one credit hour of Wellness and two credit hours of additional Physical Education courses. Legislative RequirementsGeorgia law requires that each candidate for a degree demonstrate knowledge of the history and constitution on the United States and Georgia. These requirements may be met by receiving a passing grade in certain courses, or by passing the appropriate examination. The courses and the requirement(s) each course satisfies are as follows:
Major Requirements (60 hours)The courses in the Exercise Science Major consist of both required and elective courses. The required courses are designed to ensure that all students receiving the BS Exercise Science degree will share a common set of learning experiences toward achievement of the Program Outcome Goals. In addition, students will apply these learning experiences in the accomplishment of a research project or internship. Elective courses allow students to delve further into areas of specialization that provide breadth and/or depth of learning.
