The Exercise Biology Major
Program
The Program. The focus is on both the acute and
adaptive effects of physical activity (and inactivity).
Exercise biology deals with the mechanisms and
consequences of activity from the molecular to the
organismal (human ecological) level. We examine
these mechanisms and consequences during growth,
development, aging, disease and in altered environmental
conditions. The exercise biology major
encompasses the critical aspects of an integrative
program in applied human biology. The Bachelor of
Arts program provides a greater breadth of knowledge
in the humanities and social sciences and is
more appropriate for those who wish to apply their
knowledge within the human community. The Bachelor
of Science program is appropriate for students
who desire a strong preparation in human biology.
Career Alternatives. Students with further academic
or professional interests in medicine and other
health sciences, community service, business, sales,
communications, education or coaching might find
the Bachelor of Arts program attractive. The Bachelor
of Science could lead to further graduate study in
any field related to human biology as well as
careers in medicine and other health sciences (e.g.,
physical therapy), biomechanics and biomedical
engineering and medical equipment and pharmaceutical
development and sales.
