Exercise Science Program Details


Program Curriculum

The curriculum for the bachelor's 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.


Please note: This is only a potential plan of study. Please consult with your academic advisor before enrolling.
