The mission of the Department of Exercise Science is the integrative study of human biology in the context of physical activity.
The Program. The undergraduate major may select either the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degree program. The Bachelor of Arts is primarily for those students who desire a liberal arts program with a broadly based lower division curriculum. This program permits specialization in either the biological or psychological aspects of exercise science, and is most appropriate for those who intend to pursue careers in coaching, teaching, or in community/corporate exercise programs, and for those intending graduate study in the behavioral aspects of sport and exercise.
The Bachelor of Science program is for students who desire a more intense curriculum in the natural sciences. It involves more extensive lower division preparation in physical and life sciences and requires additional upper division course work more specific to either biomechanics or exercise physiology.
Preparatory Requirements. Before declaring a major in Exercise Science, students must complete the following courses with a combined grade point average of at least 2.5 at the University of California (at least 3.0 for similar courses taken at community college). All courses must be taken for a letter grade.
| Chemistry 2A, 2B | 10 units |
| Biological Sciences 1A | 5 units |
| Physics 1A or 7A | 3-4 units |
Career Alternatives. This degree program provides preparation for graduate study in exercise and sport science, for careers in the allied health sciences, and for professional schools in medicine, physical therapy, and podiatry.
