Bachelor of Applied Science in Exercise Science Program Curriculum & Admission Requirements

The curriculum for the bachelor of applied science degree in exercise science is built on the belief that it is critical for KU students to not only gain a broad-based exercise science education, but to supplement that education with hands-on practical experience in the field. This powerful combination allows our students to excel in any environment. The program curriculum includes general education requirements (see below), as well as a strong core of applied science courses in kinesiology, biomechanics, sports nutrition, strength and conditioning, personal training, care and prevention of athletic injuries, and exercise physiology. Elective options come from a diverse mix of disciplines including courses like neuromuscular exercise physiology, exercise biochemistry, sociology of sport, medical terminology, applied sport and performance psychology, and sport communication.
