The undergraduate major in Exercise and Sport Science is designed to provide students an in-depth exposure to the scientific basis of physical activity, exercise and sport. Knowledge and skills related to exercise and sport biomechanics, physiology, psychology, epidemiology, physical fitness and conditioning, measurement theory, and other associated areas are obtained through prescribed and elective course work, independent study, and laboratory and field experience. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) has endorsed the curricula for the University of Georgia’s Exercise and Sport Science undergraduate program. This curriculum covers the knowledge, skills, and abilities expected of an ACSM Health/Fitness Instructor. All majors take 60 semester hours of liberal arts education (University Core), including science, mathematics, social science, and humanities, and 23 semester hours of exercise science courses (EXRS Core), including exercise physiology, scientific principles of conditioning and fitness, biomechanics, exercise and sport psychology, measurement, and exercise epidemiology. An additional 30 semester hours of elective course work and practical experiences are selected based on the students academic interests and career goals. Recommendations for elective course work are available for the following seven program options: Athletic Training, Fitness Specialist, Pre-Physical Therapy, Pre-Graduate Study in Biomechanics, Pre-Graduate Study in Exercise Physiology, and Pre-Medicine or Physician’s Assistant, Pre-Graduate Study in Exercise and Sport Psychology, and Pre-Graduate Study in Measurement.
