A checklist is the list of requirements to complete this program and receive the award, as the college publishes it in its catalog. It is the same for everyone. It does not say what you have completed; that comes from applying your own record.

Description
The 4+1 B.S./M.S. Exercise Science program is an accelerated pathway to complete both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Exercise Science in a five-year period (or its equivalent). Students may qualify to take a maximum of five (5) designated graduate courses in the fourth year (or its equivalent) of the baccalaureate program and count the credit earned in these courses toward the requirements for both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. A specialized plan of study may be developed for students who are interested in proceeding to careers in allied health, which may include, but is not limited to physical therapy, medicine (physician or physician assistant), nutrition and nursing. This plan of study is designed in conjunction with an adviser so that students may fulfill pre-requisite courses necessary for application to professional school programs while studying exercise science.
