Exercise Science

Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science

Exercise science prepares students to work in exercise-related areas by examining the effects of physical activity on the human body. The Exercise Science (BS) degree at Appalachian State University is primarily for students who prefer to have a more flexible career path with multiple options. The extensive choices within the Public Health and Exercise Science electives and Interdisciplinary Studies electives provide the foundation required for immediate employment in the fitness/wellness industry, in sport and human performance, or for successful admission to graduate or health professions programs.
