USM's College of Science, Technology and Health and the Department of Exercise, Health, and Sport Sciences offers degrees in Athletic Training, Exercise Science (concentrating in exercise physiology or health fitness), and Health Sciences.
These innovative programs offer students the opportunity to gain clinical experience while using the most advanced sports medicine equipment available. Upon completion of the curriculum, the undergraduate athletic training student will be eligible to challenge the Board of Certification (BOC) examination for the Athletic Trainer. Upon completion of their respective curricula, exercise science majors will be eligible to challenge an eclectic mix of national certification examinations including the American College of Sports Medicine's (ACSM) Health Fitness Specialist and Clinical Exercise Specialist certification examinations and the National Strength and Conditioning Association's (NSCA) Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) examination. Health Sciences graduates are prepared for careers in general health science fields and for admission to graduate and professional programs.
