Core Courses
EXSC 405 must be completed for three credits.
Physical Therapy and Athletic Training
Exercise Science majors who are planning to attend graduate school for physical therapy or athletic training should consider taking the following courses. Each graduate school program has slightly different course prerequisites, so each student should inquire with the graduate school of their choice to determine which courses should be completed at the baccalaureate level.
In addition to the major requirements listed above, students will need to complete a general education curriculum and elective courses to earn 120 credits which is mandatory for earning a Greenville University degree. Details about the general education curriculum can be found in the Academic Information section of this catalog. Some general education requirements are met through required major courses which reduces the number of required general education credits. Students should work closely with their advisor to put together an academic plan to make sure all degree requirements are met in a timely manner.
The outcomes for this program can be found on the Greenville University Institutional Assessment webpage.
