Fast Track Your Education in Exercise Science
The Accelerated 4+1 Bachelor's to Master's program in Exercise Science is specifically designed to prepare qualified students for graduate level work in Exercise Science through a coordinated accelerated program leading to both a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and a Master's of Science in Exercise Science. As a graduate, you'll be well prepared for high-demand careers in a wide range of settings such as health care, the fitness industry and community-based programs.
Earn dual credit towards both your bachelor's and master's degree while still an undergraduate. A student admitted to the accelerated program will be allowed to enroll in courses for dual UG/Grad credit (up to 9 credit hours) while still completing their undergraduate degree requirements. The accelerated program is ideal for students in the Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science program in junior/senior standing seeking to enter the Master of Science in Exercise Science program upon graduation.
| College/Department | Description | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| College of Health Professions | for all courses taught by a department in the College of Health Professions | $20 |
| College of Health Professions - Public Health Sciences (PHS) | for all courses with a PHS prefix | $35 |
| College of Health Professions | for course instructional method of HYO, OHY, OLA or OLS | $72 |
| Total | $127 per CrHr |
Prospective students apply for admission to the graduate school during the semester prior to the first semester in which they intend to enroll in a course for dual credit. To be considered for admission to the accelerated program, a prospective student must submit a graduate school application fee, and satisfy the admission requirements. Admissions are considered on a rolling deadline.
Upon admission to the accelerated program, the student is granted tentative admission to the Master of Science (MS) in Exercise Science graduate program. Tentative graduate admission does not guarantee final admission, which is contingent upon the student meeting all the admission requirements in place for the MS program at the time the Bachelor's degree is awarded.
