The Bachelor of Science (BS) in exercise physiology provides training in anatomy, physiology, and all other prerequisites for medical and other professional schools. Students also receive sound clinical training with patients in our human performance laboratory and other clinical settings, and complete a minimum 180-hour clinical internship or research in their senior year.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Science (BS) in exercise physiology are equipped with communication, analytical, and critical thinking skills essential in today's job market. Upon graduation, they are eligible to take the certification examinations offered by the American College of Sports Medicine, and find work in a variety of clinical settings.

Others choose to continue their education in graduate and professional school. Select senior students are able to take a hands-on cadaveric dissection gross anatomy laboratory to further enhance their ability to compete for admission to physician assistant, physical therapy, medicine, or other rehabilitative science graduate programs. For well-qualified students who are interested in pursuing the Doctor of Physical Therapy degree (DPT) at WVU, the School of Medicine offers an Early Assurance Program.

Students will be able to:

• Critically evaluate scientific information and apply to exercise physiology related concepts
• Integrate foundational science coursework and its application in exercise physiology.
• Use critical reasoning and evidence to methodically and systematically problem solve and develop interventions in exercise physiology.
• Perform and clinically apply health and fitness screening as well as exercise testing and prescription for healthy and chronic disease populations.
• Perform laboratory techniques, analysis and interpretation of data, and application to practice within the discipline.
• Apply professional competencies to discipline related practice, including effectively communicating scientific and clinical information to lay audiences.
