Degree Requirements

Students majoring in Health and Exercise Science will be designated as pre-HES until they have applied and are admitted to the Bachelor of Science degree program. The undergraduate degree program consists of a single core curriculum emphasizing applied science and professional preparation in combination with an elective block to allow students to develop strong preparation in an area of personal interest related to health and exercise science. The HES major requires the completion of at least 122 credit hours.

A minor in Health and Exercise Science is also available at the undergraduate level for non-HES majors. Students who select the HES minor are not required to apply to the program, but will only be permitted to take courses in the core curriculum if seats are available one month after junior enrollment begins and with appropriate permissions. The HES minor requires the completion of 18 credit hours to include HES 1823, HES 2913, and 12 hours of HES upper-division electives.
