Students admitted to these graduate programs at Rutgers complete a core curriculum in advanced exercise physiology, exercise testing and prescription fundamentals, research methodology, and statistics.
Students can then build on these core courses and create a program of study that supports their interests and goals. Students working toward the BA in Kinesiology can also choose from two tracks of study: a track for students looking to become physical education teachers and a generalist track with an optional emphasis in sports. This program provides students with a comprehensive understanding of exercise metabolism, fitness and health maintenance, nutrition, exercise training, cardiovascular risk identification, and rehabilitation.
Graduates pursue employment or graduate degrees in the fields of physiology, biomedical sciences, and exercise science. Exercise science majors will gain experience by participating in a hour, 8-credit course internship, which will provide students with professional experience in the industry. There are three focuses in the B. Students who pursue this degree will graduate with a comprehensive understanding of the principles of kinesiology and the way to apply kinesiology-related skills to real-world issues.
The BS in Exercise Science includes coursework in basic science and exercise science, as well as an internship. The Department also offers an Accelerated Exercise Science program that can be completed in three years. The Master of Science in Kinesiology with a concentration in exercise physiology is an adult evening program that is offered in a thesis and non-thesis track of study. Scholarships available to students studying exercise science and kinesiology include the Corporal Evan T.
Graduates of the program are eligible to take the Board of Certification athletic training exam. The BS in Kinesiology program offers three emphasis areas: pre-physical therapy, fitness specialist, and exercise generalist. On the graduate level, Master of Science degrees are available in applied movement science, exercise physiology, and in exercise physiology and nutritional science.
The undergraduate program in exercise science is a two-year cohort program that students can begin their junior year. The MS in Exercise Science is credit program offered in two concentrations: strength and conditioning, and health and wellness. Students can also choose from a thesis or non-thesis track of study.
Students who graduate with these degrees go on to become employee fitness directors, exercise physiologists, group exercise instructors, personal trainers, physical therapy technicians, and pulmonary rehabilitation specialists. The degree requires students to complete a credit hour internship so that they may pursue a real-world experience that will help them when seeking employment.
The Master's degree program has both thesis and non-thesis options, and the degree will prepare students for certification through the American College of Sports Medicine. Programs are offered at a variety of community and junior colleges. A high school diploma or GED is required to apply. You may also wish to consider related fields such as physical therapy or athletic training.
Check to see what your preferred job requires. For example, a CAPTE-accredited associate degree in physical therapy assisting PTA will prepare you to take the national licensure examination and start work immediately. For example, in an AS, you might be required to combine general education credits e. You may also be choose to electives such as sports injuries or emergency response.
As a rule, the AAS tends to be more focused on technical skills and job training. That means, in addition to AS subjects, you may be required to complete a practicum in fitness training. Look for programs that give you hands-on experience in areas such as fitness assessment, exercise testing, and group instruction. Courses in business management will also prove useful. We talk more about these options in our certification section.
Many students use this degree as a stepping stone to graduate work e. Programs are offered by a wide range of colleges and universities. Talk to your mentors and college adviser about your options. To give you real-world training, many programs will arrange internships.
Many BS graduates are interested in becoming an exercise physiologist or clinical exercise specialist. A few words of warning:. The thesis option is generally intended for students who wish to pursue a PhD or doctorate. For example, if you are focused on sports training, you might be required to take courses in performance enhancement, injury prevention, exercise physiology, exercise endocrinology, athletic training, sports management, and motor control and rehabilitation.
You could be working with — and studying — professional basketball players or growing kids. Missouri Baptist University offers an online Master of Science in Fitness Management that combines classes in exercise science with business and management classes to qualify students for jobs in the growing fitness industry.
