Students must earn 15 credits in EXS coursework. This minor is designed to give students a foundation in human performance, exercise testing, and exercise prescription. Required courses prepare students for general personal training certifications, whereas additional courses will allow students to select a targeted plan of study to prepare for specialized certifications including: group exercise instruction, health and wellness coaching, training special populations, strength and conditioning, and sports performance. *Please note that completion of the coursework does not guarantee certification, and some certifications require a bachelor’s degree in exercise science or a related field.

Please note: Students must meet with their adviser to review course selection and discuss course pre-requisites prior to enrolling in the minor.
