Study human movement and the body’s physiological adaptations to exercise as you pursue a degree in exercise science. Students learn the scientific and medical aspects of physical activity, fitness, health and sport performance. The program includes a strong science-based curriculum with requirements in biology, chemistry and physics. Students then progress to courses in kinesiology, exercise assessment and programming, exercise physiology, and biomechanics which provide them with foundational knowledge and practical application of performance principles.
All students in the BS in Exercise Science must complete two internships during their senior year of study. Internship experiences in areas such as medical fitness, nuclear cardiology, exercise testing, sport performance, and strength and conditioning provide students the opportunity to explore careers in the field.
Some former internship sites include:
Students graduate prepared to enter a variety of careers in the fitness and allied health industry or pursue graduate studies.

With the help of Professor Fuller and Devin Cashman I was able to land an internship at Mass General Hospital my senior year of college which ended up turning into a job at the end of my internship. The Exercise Science program gave me the confidence I needed to show my supervisor how seriously I took the internship.Taylor Bunkley '20, Exercise Science
