The combined BS in Exercise Science \/ MS in Kinesiology,Exercise and Sport Science Concentration is an accelerated pathway to earning a Bachelor\u2019s and Master\u2019s degree in five years for students in exercise science. The program is well suited for students interested in developing a greater depth of expertise in exercise science under an expedited timeframe. This is especially the case for students seeking admission into doctoral programs or employment in clinical exercise physiology and upper level positions involving exercise training.<\/p>\n

In the combined program students take nine credit hours of required \u201cswing courses\u201d at the graduate level in their fourth year, in place of nine credit hours of undergraduate electives. The remaining 24 credit hours of graduate requirements are completed during the fifth year, which may include some coursework during the summer between the 4th and 5th year.<\/p>\n

Students benefit from the reduced cost and time for the combined degree, allowing them to embark on their career more expeditiously. Additionally, students may take advantage of earlier access to mentored research training and an expedited application process for acceptance to the fifth year of study.<\/p>\n
