Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science in Exercise and Sports Science/Master of Science in Athletic Training

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.
The dual degree program (3/2) allows undergraduate Exercise and Sports Science students to enter the Master of Science in Athletic Training program beginning during the summer of their 4th year and earn a BESS in Exercise & Sport Science and a Master of Science in Athletic Training.
