EXS Emphasis: Exercise Science in Healthcare
This emphasis provides a logical gateway for graduate health professions-seeking students (athletic training, physical therapy, and physician assistant) by broadening their basic biological and physical science background. This emphasis is intentionally diverse in electives to accommodate the wide range of graduate health profession pre-requisite coursework not already offered within the Exercise Science core curriculum.
