This undergraduate program, grounded in the university's Liberal Arts Core, provides students resources for developing professional skills in exercise testing, physical activity leadership, health and fitness assessment, exercise programming, wellness coaching, planning health promotion programs, and public health. Graduates are prepared for beginning administrative, supervisory, and leadership positions in commercial and community health and athletic clubs, corporate fitness and wellness programs, and public health nonprofit and government agencies, and for undertaking graduate study in health education, exercise science, occupational therapy, athletic training, chiropractic medicine, physical therapy, and public health. In addition, qualified students may apply for an accelerated B.S. to M.S. program in public health education and promotion.
Students will choose from four emphasis areas: exercise science/strength and conditioning, public health, pre-physical therapy, or pre-professional.
Students completing the baccalaureate degree in Marymount’s health sciences programs are prepared to apply for exercise physiologist or personal trainer certifications offered by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), strength and conditioning certification offered by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), or Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) certification.
Upon successful completion of the health sciences program, students will be able to
Exercise Science/Strength and Conditioning Emphasis
The exercise science/strength and conditioning emphasis provides students with a theoretical understanding of the anatomical, neuromuscular, physiological, and psychological responses and adaptations to exercise. Through concentration-specific courses, electives, and internship, a health sciences (exercise science/strength and conditioning) degree provides students with the knowledge and skills to assess physical function and prescribe exercise for healthy individuals and special populations. This emphasis in health sciences enables graduates to gain employment in a variety of settings as exercise specialists for youth, adult, geriatric, and special populations, including those with medically controlled diseases. Graduates also work as business owners and communication specialists and successfully enter graduate and professional schools. This emphasis prepares students to sit for certifications offered by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), including those for personal trainers and exercise physiologists. Students taking this emphasis are strongly encouraged to consider the accelerated B.S. to M.S. program in Public Health Education and Promotion and should consult an advisor for more information. See B.S. to M.S. program.
