Exercise science students utilize science, research methodologies, and practical application to study the effects of exercise on health and human performance. Exercise science students learn how to recognize and evaluate cardiovascular, pulmonary, and metabolic functions and plan and implement programs for diseased and healthy populations to maintain and enhance physical fitness, health, and quality of life.Program RequirementsRetention and Progression RequirementsStudents will be retained within the Exercise Science major providing the following criteria are maintained throughout their undergraduate experience:●Sign the published "technical standards" for the Exercise Science major. Technical standards will be addressed and completed during SPM 260.●Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50.●Earn a minimum grade of C- in all required courses. Students receiving a grade lower than C- in a required course will not be allowed to sequence into post-requisite coursework until the prerequisite deficiency has been rectified.●Present proof of current American Red Cross Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for the Professional Rescuer certification, or its equivalent, prior to enrolling in the following courses: SPM 385 and/or SPM 395, and SPM 495.ProbationStudents will be placed on academic probation for failure to maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50. Students failing to rectify the GPA deficiency within a one-year probation period will be removed from their declared major and from their status as a student within the Department. Upon rectifying the GPA deficiency, students can reapply for admission into a Departmental major.Graduation RequirementsStudents will graduate with a bachelor of science degree in exercise science when the following requirements are satisfied:●Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50.●Completion of all University Core curriculum requirements.●Completion of all exercise, health, and sport sciences core required coursework with minimum grades of C-.●Completion of all exercise science major coursework with minimum grades of C-.●Completion of 120 credits.Degree RequirementsThe Bachelor of Science in exercise science consists of 120 credit hours: University Core Curriculum courses, EHSS required core courses, Exercise Science major required courses, and Exercise Science approved electives if needed to complete the 120-minimum credit requirement.University Core Courses (40-42 credits)EYE (Entry-Year Experience) (3 cr.)College Writing (3 cr.)Quantitative Reasoning (MAT 120 Introduction to Statistics or PSY 201 Statistics in Psychology) (3-4 cr.)Science Exploration (PHY 101/102 Introduction to Physics and Lab or PHY 111/114 Elements of Physics I and Introductory Physics Laboratory I) (4-5 cr.)Creative Expression (3 cr.)Cultural Interpretation (3 cr.)Socio-cultural Analysis (3 cr.)Ethical Inquiry, Social Responsibility, and Citizenship (3 cr.)Thematic Cluster (3 cr.)Thematic Cluster (3 cr.)Thematic Cluster (3 cr.)International (3 cr.)Diversity (3 cr.)Exercise, Health, and Sports Sciences Required Core Courses (42 credits)CHY 107 Chemistry for Health Sciences or CHY 113 Principles of Chemistry I (3 cr.)BIO 111 Human Anatomy and Physiology I (3 cr.)BIO 112 Practical Human Anatomy and Physiology I (1.5 cr.)BIO 113 Human Anatomy and Physiology II (3 cr.)BIO 114 Practical Human Anatomy and Physiology II (1.5 cr.)CON 252 Human Nutrition (3 cr.)SPM 100 Introduction to Exercise, Health and Sport Sciences (required for majors with 60 credits or less) (3 cr.)SPM 216 Emergency Medical Response (3 cr.)SPM 219 Lifetime Physical Fitness and Wellness (3 cr.)SPM 230 Psychology of Physical Activity and Sport (3 cr.)SPM 325 Methods of Resistance Training and Conditioning (3 cr.)SPM 330 Physiology of Exercise (3 cr.)SPM 352 Nutrition for Physical Performance (3 cr.)SPM 381 Kinesiology (3 cr.)SPM 430 Exercise Testing, Assessment and Prescription (3 cr.)Exercise Science Required Courses (33 credits)SPM 260 Introduction to Personal Training (3 cr.)SPM 350 Health Promotion Programs (3 cr.)SPM 385 Practicum I (3 cr.)SPM 395 Practicum II (3 cr.)SPM 431 Advanced Exercise Physiology (3 cr.)SPM 450 Exercise for Special Populations (3 cr.)SPM 485 Senior Thesis I (3 cr.)SPM 486 Senior Thesis II (3 cr.)SPM 495 Clinical Internship/Co-op (9 cr.)Exercise Science Approved ElectivesStudents should consult with their advisor to determine if exercise science electives are needed to complete the 120-credit minimum graduation requirement. Elective courses require advisor approval.Students wishing to pursue a Biology minor should consult with the Department of Biological Sciences.Students wishing to pursue a Chemistry minor should consult with the Department of Chemistry.Students wishing to pursue a Holistic and Integrative Health minor should consult with the School of Nursing.Students wishing to pursue a Business Administration minor should consult with the School of Business.Admission InformationIn addition to the requirements established for admission to the University, the Department of Exercise, Health, and Sport Sciences requires applicants to have successfully completed high school chemistry and biology with labs.Students enrolled in other USM programs of study who desire to enroll in exercise science through the change of major process must have a USM GPA of 2.50. Students cannot double major within department offerings.JA updated: 3/29/19 ................
