OVERVIEW
The mission of the Department of Exercise Science is to expand
and disseminate the body of knowledge concerning the
relationship between exercise participation and human health.
Programs of Study
The undergraduate program in Exercise Science is a rigorous
science-based program designed primarily to prepare students
for entry into post baccalaureate/graduate programs in healthrelated fields. Courses are offered in three major tracks: health
fitness, life span motor development, and scientific foundations.
The health fitness track focuses on mastery of
knowledge/techniques related to programming for enhancement
of health through physical activity. The motor development
track prepares students to analyze/diagnose motor deficiencies
and to prescribe physical activities to improve motor function in
individuals across the life span. The scientific foundations track
provides an in-depth study in the basic sciences related to
human physiology and physical activity.
The undergraduate program in Exercise Science is a science-based
program designed primarily to prepare students for entry into post
baccalaureate/graduate programs in health-related fields. A
departmental core curriculum provides comprehensive mastery of
exercise science. Students select one of four cognates: Scientific
Foundations, Health Fitness, Motor Development, or Public Health.
Entrance Requirements
New freshman who meet university admissions standards are
eligible for admission to the degree program offered by the
Department of Exercise Science. Transfer admission requires
department approval as well as prerequisites.
Transfer Admission
1. Students enrolled in other colleges on the Columbia campus
must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 and must have
at least 12 USC credit hours.
2. Students from other USC campuses must have a cumulative
GPA of 2.75 and must have taken at least 12 USC credit hours.
5
.
Additionally, students from other USC campuses who have
fewer than 30 semester hours must also meet Columbia campus
freshman admission requirements.
3. Transfer students from regionally accredited institutions must
present a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 on all college work
taken. Students who have fewer than 30 semester hours of
college work must also meet Columbia campus freshman
admission requirements.
Retention and Progression Standards
1. If the semester, yearly, or cumulative grade point average of
a student is below 2.00, the student will be notified in writing.
2. A student in exercise science must have an overall C average
and complete the following courses with a grade of C or better
before enrolling in ANY course in Exercise Science: ENGL
101, ENGL 102, BIOL 101/101L, BIOL 102/102L, CHEM 111,
and MATH 141.
2. A student in exercise science must have an overall C average
and complete the following courses with a grade of C or better
before enrolling in any course in Exercise Science with a prefix
number of 200 or greater: ENGL 101, ENGL 102, BIOL 101/101L,
BIOL 102/102L, CHEM 111, and MATH 141.
3. A student in Exercise Science must earn a grade of C or
higher in all departmental course work (EXSC), in cognate
courses and in PHYS 201/201L, PHYS 202/202L, and CHEM
112.
3. A student in Exercise Science must earn a grade of C or higher
in all departmental course work (EXSC), in required cognate
courses and in PHYS 201/201L, PHYS 202/202L, and CHEM 112,
CHEM 333/331L and CHEM 334/332L.
4. An exercise science major may attempt an EXSC course and
the courses listed in paragraph three above a maximum of two
times to fulfill the requirement. A grade of “W” will be
included as an attempt.
5. An exercise science major may repeat a maximum of three
EXSC courses.
6. An exercise science major must receive a grade of C or
higher in any course in order for it to serve as a prerequisite.
Attendance Requirements
Students enrolled in the Department of Exercise Science are
subject to attendance regulations of the University described
elsewhere in the bulletin.
When a student enrolls in a particular course, the student is
obligated for all the work which may be assigned. Punctual and
regular attendance is vital to the discharge of this obligation.
The student is responsible for all assigned work in a course, and
absences, excused or not, do not absolve the student of this
responsibility.
