About

The Applied Exercise Physiology concentration is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to work in health and wellness settings (hospital-based wellness, cardiac rehabilitation, etc) with a variety of populations. This concentration also prepares students to take the Exercise Physiologist certification from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).  Classes designed to teach students about specific pathophysiologies and the accompanying exercise recommendations, along with a substantial internship experience, will prepare students for graduate study or immediate entry into the work force. This track can also be used for academic preparation for many rehabilitation-focused graduate programs (physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc.).
