David Norman, Chair
The exercise and sport science program provides students in a liberal arts environment the opportunity to combine ESS courses with other academic disciplines to develop interdisciplinary degrees. The ESS minor prepares students for a career in teaching and coaching at the high school and elementary levels. The program promotes a life long appreciation for wellness and physical activity.
Through the interdisciplinary major option students may prepare for a career that combines a course of study in exercise and sport science with another field such as business administration or biology. The department chair should be consulted in the design of an interdisciplinary program.
A minor in exercise and sport science consists of a minimum of five course credit units, including Exercise and Sport Science 121, 495, and at least one other course numbered 300 or higher.
Students in the Austin Teacher Program desiring to meet the requirements for EC-12 teaching certification will be required to take Exercise and Sport Science 115, 121, 353, 354, 363, 462, and 495.
