Degrees and Requirements

Exercise and Sports Science

Purpose: A major in Exercise and Sports Science will provide students an interdisciplinary approach and comprehensive knowledge to the scientific basis of human movement, physical activity, exercise and sport performance. Exercise scientists and exercise physiologists are professionals who specialize in assessing, evaluating, and prescribing exercise programs for health-related fitness outcomes of individuals in private, health, and corporate settings.  Other options include the growing field of clinical exercise physiology where the Clinical Exercise Physiologist (CEP) assess, evaluates and prescribes individual exercise programs for chronic disease populations in various medical settings.  Sport scientists are professionals who assess, evaluate and prescribe exercise and training protocols for the purpose of enhancing the sport performance potential of individuals.  Sport scientists work with individual athletes, coaches and teams in all amateur and professional sports. They also provide recommendations to promote recovery after training and offer motivational support. Requirements: To successfully complete the Exercise and Sports Science major, the following coursework is required:

• 69 credits as listed under Major Component
  • 32 credits in Science and Math
  • 28 credits in Exercise Science and Sports Performance Requirements
  • 9 credits of Exercise Science and Sports Performance Electives
• 37 Core Credits
• 14 General Elective Credits
• A minimum of 120 credits are required for degree, the last 30 of which, and 50% of the major must be earned at La Roche University (developmental course work does not count toward the minimum number of required courses for graduation)
