College of Health and Human Performance

Exercise and Sport Sciences - Exercise Physiology

The exercise physiology specialization prepares students for a career in the health professions or for graduate study in exercise science. The curriculum provides a strong basic science background and requires additional coursework in the biological aspects of exercise. All required courses must be completed prior to internship.

To remain 'on track' for this major you must meet the following critical tracking criteria. The critical tracking courses appear in bold.

Semester 1:

  • 2.0 UF GPA required for sems 1-5
