Exercise Physiology

ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer 2024 and after)

*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available ONLY at the main campus in Tallahassee, FL. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*

This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area and diversity requirements unless your program meets these with major course requirements. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

Graduates will be able to evaluate, plan for and counsel individuals in the areas of fitness, athletics, and cardiac rehabilitation. Students are being prepared for advanced degree work in exercise physiology, physical therapy, and other health fields, including medical school and positions as personal trainers and health fitness instructors with both hospital-based wellness programs and corporate fitness programs.

Students must earn a final grade of "C minus" or better in MAC 1105, MAC 1114, MAC 1140, BSC 2010, BSC 2010L, BSC 2011, CHM 1045, CHM 1045L, CHM 1046, CHM 1046L, either CHM 2210 or CHM 3217, PSY 2012 and STA 2122; a final grade of "B minus" or better in HUN 1201; and a final grade of "S" in PET 3102*. Note: Students are allowed a single repeat for only one of these courses.

*PET3102 is only offered at FSU; therefore, transfer students should take this course during their first semester enrolled at FSU.

Unless otherwise noted, a grade of "C minus" or better is required for all other coursework required for the major.
