Physiology (1) (taken 3 times) Note: Each Practicum credit is equivalent to 200 clinical hours. Clinical practicum usually begins in the third semester of the student’s program and are arranged through the Practicum Coordinator within the Department of Applied Physiology, Health, and Clinical Sciences. Elective Concentration Course (3 credit hours) Acceptable elective courses include any course at or above the 5000 level. Strength and Conditioning (S&C) Concentration The modern Strength and Conditioning profession relies heavily on evidence-based research in implementing strength and conditioning programs. The curriculum for the active and available sports performance concentration consists of high quality instruction on cutting edge theoretical concepts related to strength and conditioning. The instructors are researchers trained and certified in strength and conditioning from professional organizations, including the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). In addition, students have practical requirements with exposure to innovative programming with Charlotte 49ers Athletics and successful community facilities. Since the majority of strength and conditioning positions require a master’s degree with certifications from reputable organizations including NSCA, the Strength and Condition concentration produces highly qualified and marketable practitioners in career fields related to athletic performance.
