Exercise Physiology Minor
The exercise physiology minor can be used to help prepare students for doctoral programs in physical therapy and graduate programs in exercise physiology if combined with another major in the natural sciences. The minor also can help prepare students for some certificates in athletic training. Please contact your advisor in the biology department to discuss your options for an optimal major to pair with this minor.
The exercise physiology minor requires 24 credit hours.
All prerequisites must be completed prior to enrollment in the following courses.
Coârequisites must be taken during the same semester.
