The Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sport Physiology (B.S..E.S.P.)
Description: In the Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sport Physiology (B.S..E.S.P.) program students will gain an in-depth understanding of the role of physical activity in health and wellness, and learn how to apply scientific concepts toward assessing and promoting physical health and fitness. The courses will also help you acquire a scientific foundation of chemistry, anatomy, physiology, nutrition and kinesiology.
The B.S.E.S.P. program is appropriate for students interested in pursuing careers in sport science, health promotion, medicine, wellness, sports medicine, and allied health (i.e., physical therapy, athletic training, occupational therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and corporate wellness). Additionally, students will gain a global perspective and learn about the increasingly important role of kinesiology and physical education in health, physical activity and their importance in a global context.
Learning Outcomes: Students will
- Master health and fitness topics, including nutrition, program design, human movement science, and fitness assessments.
- Be familiar with Injury Recognition, Evaluation, and Management
- Gain proficiency in Kinesiology and Kinesiology Management
- Develop organizational and communication skills
- Understand the global need for professional exercise physiology.
