Concentration in Strength and Conditioning

The 12 credit hour concentration in Strength and Conditioning within the Exercise Science major includes courses and experiences to prepare for positions within the strength and conditioning field. It includes the knowledge, skills, and abilities related to the National Strength and Conditioning Association's (NSCA's) Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Certification Exam. Admittance into the Strength and Conditioning concentration requires completion of the application process, interview, approval and acceptance by the Strength and Conditioning concentration Program Director, Faculty, Field Placement Coordinator and internship site supervisors. Applications are due during the Spring semester of the Sophomore year. The student must have a Departmental GPA minimum of 2.6 to be admitted into the concentration and graduate with the same Departmental GPA of 2.6 to receive the concentration. Note; KINE 4312, and KINE 4313 are taken in place of the KINE 4307, and KINE 4308 in the Exercise Science major.

Total Credit Hours:12

NOTE: A Departmental GPA minimum of 2.6 for admittance into the concentration and graduate with the same Departmental GPA of 2.6 to receive the concentration.

The Departmental GPA for this concentraion will be calculated using all of the current Exercise Major Department courses EXCEPT CHEM (4hrs), and BIOL 2403 (4hrs) A & P II. It will also include those new Strength and Conditioning concentration courses of KINE 2306, 2307, 4312, and 4313.

Also NOTE the KINE 4312 Strength and Conditioning Internship I, and KINE 4313 Strength and Conditioning Internship II replaces the KINE 4307 Internship, and KINE 4308 Internship 2 in the Exercise Science major. Even thougth Concentration in Strength and Conditioning is listed as 12 total hours, it really is only 6hrs more required courses than the regular Exercise Science major. This raised it from 66 credits to 72 credits.

Total Credit Hours: 72

Total Credit Hours: 120
