Cross-Training Leadership Certificate requires thirteen credits, including HES 121, HES 383 (two different topics), REL 261 and 262. HONORS: Students majoring in Health and Exercise Science, Health and Physical Education K-12, or Sports Management and judged qualified by the faculty may, upon invitation, elect to pursue honors work in Health, Exercise, and Sport Science. To graduate With Honors in Health, Exercise, and Sport Science. students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 and a minimum major GPA of 3.2. The student must complete 410H and 499, with a minimum grade of B in each course. In addition, they must present a thesis either before the faculty or at an appropriate professional conference.

2 152 Academic Programs HEALTH AND EXERCISE SCIENCE The health and exercise science major offers professional preparation for students interested in careers as personal trainers, fitness instructors, fitness directors, or exercise physiologists in settings such as health clubs, corporate fitness, strength and conditioning of athletes, and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. The major offers the student two tracks to choose from based upon their career goals; the health and fitness track and the clinical track. Both tracks prepare the student equally with respect to the aforementioned careers and national certification with the American College of Sports Medicine, however the clinical track broadens the academic breadth by preparing students for professional degrees in medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, or graduate school. A Health and Exercise Science major earns a Bachelor of Science degree. HEALTH AND EXERCISE SCIENCE MAJOR: CREDITS Biology: 281.

Check with the School of Education for current licensure requirements. The Health and Physical Education K-12 major is designed for the student pursuing a career in teaching and coaching in public schools. The major stresses field experiences through methods courses, adapted physical education opportunities, and educational internships. The curriculum provides a balance of activities grouped under the psychomotor, cognitive, and affective domains. These activities include sequential progression, performance objectives, and prescribed evaluation procedures. Students enrolled in Health and Physical Education K-12 licensure program must successfully complete all parts of Praxis I before taking any EDU or HES 300 level courses.
