Exercise and Sport Sciences – Exercise Physiology

Critical Tracking
8 Semester Plan

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 course work in the biological aspects of exercise. All required courses must be completed before the internship.

To remain ‘on track’ for this major, a student must meet the following critical tracking criteria. The critical tracking courses appear in bold.

Semester 1:

2.0 UF GPA required for semesters 1-5

Complete 2 of the 9 critical tracking courses with a 3.0 GPA on tracking course work (PSY2012, (SPC2600 or AEE3030C), CHM2045, CHM2045L, CHM2046, CHM2046L, BSC2010, BSC2010L, BSC2011, BSC2011L, (MAC2311 or MAC2233), PET2320C, PET2350C, PET3351C) – excluding labs

Semester 2:

Complete 2 additional courses of the 9 tracking courses with a 3.0 GPA on tracking course work – excluding labs

Semester 3:

Complete 2 additional courses of the 9 tracking courses with a 3.0 GPA on tracking course work – excluding labs

Semester 4:

Complete all 9 critical tracking courses with a 3.0 GPA on all tracking course work – including all associated labs

Semester 5:

Complete PET3351C
