Exercise Physiology (B.S. to M.S. Seamless)
The Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology to Master of Science Degree in Kinesiology and Human Performance (EXPM) is a 147 semester hour program available to qualified students. The program requires 114 undergraduate semester hours and 30 graduate semester hours (six of which count towards the needed 120 undergraduate hours). The student who successfully completes the program meets the requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology and the Master of Science degree in Kinesiology and Human Performance.
Academic Good Standing for B.S. to M.S. in Exercise Physiology
By the end of the fifth semester of study, B.S. to M.S. students in Exercise Physiology (EXPM) must have obtained at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA to begin graduate coursework. Students not meeting and maintaining the cumulative program GPA requirement of 3.0 will not be allowed to begin or continue with graduate coursework. Students will have their major changed from B.S. to M.S. to only the B.S. degree program for degree completion.
Graduation Requirements
