Exercise Physiology (B.S. to M.S. Seamless)

The Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology to Master of Science Degree in Human Performance and Wellness (EXPM) is a 150 semester hour program available to qualified students. The program requires 114 undergraduate semester hours and 36 graduate semester hours (six of which count towards the needed 120 undergraduate hours). The student who successfully completes the program meets the requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology and the Master of Science degree in Human Performance and Wellness.

Academic Good Standing for B.S. to M.S. in Exercise Physiology

By the end of the fifth semester of study, B.S. to M.S. students in Exercise Physiology (EXPM) must have obtained at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA to begin graduate coursework. Students not meeting and maintaining the cumulative program GPA requirement of 3.0 will not be allowed to begin or continue with graduate coursework. Students will have their major changed from B.S. to M.S. to only the B.S. degree program for degree completion.

Graduation Requirements

1. Successful completion of the course and credit hour requirements.

2. Cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher in graduate-level courses, no “D” or “F” grades, and no more than six credits with a grade of “C.”

3. Successful completion of the comprehensive examination (Internship Option) OR Successful completion and presentation of a thesis proposal (Thesis Option).

4. Successful completion of the internship and the internship project (Internship Option) OR Successful completion and oral defense of a Thesis (Thesis Option).

Bachelor of Science (120 credits)

Distribution Requirements and Co-requisites (60 credits)

The student majoring in Exercise Physiology must exceed the University’s distribution requirement of 45 hours. The Science and Mathematics area includes 15 additional hours of required coursework, bringing the total distribution credit hours required for Exercise Physiology majors to 60.
