Pre-Exercise Physiology Direct-Admit

Curriculum

The entry-level Master of Science in Exercise Science Program (MEXP) is a two-year, five semester program. It is divided into MEXP Year 1 and MEXP Year 2.

During MEXP Year 1, course work in exercise physiology begins at the 5000 level. The 5000-level courses present the basic, behavioral, professional, and applied science foundations for the 6000-level courses in MEXP Year 2. For students that enter the program with direct admission status, bachelor’s degrees are awarded to those individuals satisfying all relevant Carroll undergraduate requirements at the conclusion of the senior year/MEXP Year 1.

At the conclusion of MEXP Year 1, students move into the MEXP Year 2, where 6000-level (summer, fall and spring terms of year two) courses in exercise physiology are offered. Knowledge gained in each course is integrated throughout subsequent courses. Master of Science in Exercise Physiology program graduates participate in the University’s Commencement ceremony in May at the conclusion of MEXP Year 2.
