Prereq.: BIO 230, 231, SME 275 and 340 . Each student majoring in Sports Medicine/Exercise Science will be required to take an Oral Examination covering all the courses they have taken at the end of their sophomore year. They will be required to pass with a grade of 70% to continue in the program. (This is at the discretion of the faculty). For any course in which a grade of 'A' is attained, the student will be exempt from that course on the oral exam. The grade will be listed on the transcript as an 'S' (satisfactory) or a 'U' (unsatisfactory).

Prereq: BIO 230 and 231. Principles of cardiovascular and pulmonary conditioning and contributions to a healthy lifestyle will be studied. This class will address the physiological adaptations and responses of the many regulatory systems of the human body as they encounter the effects of aerobic conditioning. The benefits of fitness will be stressed as they relate to weight control, stress reduction, nutrition, drugs, and disease prevention. This class will also include an emphasis on the requirements for becoming a certified personal trainer.
