THE EXERCISE SCIENCE MAJOR
The King鈥檚 College Exercise Science major provides students with an understanding of the physiological, biomechanical, and psychological effects of exercise on the human body. This unique and challenging program is designed to prepare students for a wide range of careers in the fast-growing fields of health, wellness, and fitness. The Exercise Science major at King鈥檚 College provides students with a foundation of both theoretical and clinical knowledge while adhering to the King鈥檚 mission to 鈥渢each its students not only how to make a living, but how to live.鈥
King鈥檚 College offers six tracks within the major of Exercise Science:
- The Strength and Conditioning聽Track
- The Exercise Physiology Track
- 罢丑别听Pre-Athletic Training Track聽(3+2 Master of Science in Athletic Training Program)
- The Exercise Science & Chiropractic Track (3+4)
- The Exercise Science Occupational Therapy Track (3+3 OTD track)
- The Exercise Science and Nutrition Science Track (3+2)
Both the Strength and Conditioning and Exercise Physiology tracks will prepare students to enter the field of Exercise Science directly. However, these two tracks differ in terms of their preparation of students for varying post-graduate degree programs. Please refer to specific description of these two tracks in the later part of this handbook.
罢丑别听Pre-Athletic Training Track聽is for students who wish to pursue the 3+2 Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Program, an exciting, innovative, accelerated program that allows students to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and a Master of Science in Athletic Training in five years.
The Exercise Science & Chiropractic Track allows students to achieve a Bachelor of Science Degree (B.S.) in Exercise Science at King鈥檚 College, as well a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree at New York Chiropractic College. This unique track allows qualified students to complete both degrees in a total of 7 years (3+4) instead of 8 (4+4).
罢丑别听Exercise Science Occupational Therapy Track聽(3+3 OTD track) BS/OTD program requires six years of academic studies, including six months of clinical fieldwork and a 14-week doctoral capstone experience. This accelerated degree program leads to an entry-level Clinical Doctorate after graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science with a Minor in Neuroscience.
