Duluth Campus
Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences B.A.Sc.D Applied Human Sciences
College of Education and Human Service Professions
The B.A.Sc. offers preparation for graduate school and a sound basis for professional training in the exercise and health sciences. The faculty in exercise science encourages students to develop as active scholars and to participate in undergraduate research. Abilities in math, science, and critical thinking are required for matriculation and graduation.
Most upper level EXSC courses have a graded laboratory component. Students work under supervision in the Exercise Physiology Laboratory, Biomechanics Laboratory, and Motor Learning Laboratory. Students combine theoretical knowledge with practical experience in electrocardiography, exercise testing, exercise supervision, and strength and conditioning procedures in a managed learning environment. They monitor and mentor students involved in exercise programs. Labs and other physical facilities allow learning via student research and activity. Substantial opportunities exist for interested students to conduct independent research under the guidance of faculty mentors. Such projects have the potential to be presented at the local, state, and national professional meetings. This provides students with an unparalleled opportunity for professional development and personal growth.
