Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences-Exercise Physiology-Strength and Conditioning
Admissions Requirements
The UMHB Strength and Conditioning Education Program will accept applications for the Fall, Spring, or Summer Admissions. The admissions criteria include completion of prerequisite courses with a B or better, a GPA requirement of 3.00, and completion of 45 hours of university credit. As a general rule, there is no limit on the number of applicants admitted to the program. All applicants meeting the objective criteria will normally be admitted to the program. The University always reserves the right to deny admission to its programs for any lawful reason.
Prerequisite courses include:
• EXSS 2340 Intro to EXSS
• EXSS 2353 Lifespan Nutrition
• EXSS 2345 Human Anatomy
• EXSS 3135 Advanced Resistance Training
Once students have met the requirements for admission to the Strength and Conditioning Education Program they will be contacted by the program director to discuss whether they want to proceed into the SCEP and what the requirements are for graduation from the SCEP. They will also be given the option to change to a different concentration. Once a student has met the criteria for admission they cannot continue on the strength and conditioning concentration without entering the SCEP. A student in the SCEP must have a 3.0 GPA for admission and must maintain a 3.0 GPA throughout the program.
The Strength and Conditioning Education program is preparing graduates for entry level practice as a strength and conditioning coach or entrance into a graduate program. The curriculum and field experience is designed to prepare students for the CSCS exam and to develop the skill set to be an entry level strength and conditioning coach. In addition, the strong foundation in exercise physiology and health sciences on this degree plan will enhance a student’s application to an appropriate graduate program. Students must maintain a 3.0 or better GPA to remain in the program.
