DEPARTMENT OF EXERCISE SCIENCE

ANNUAL REPORT Letter from the Department Chair Exercise Science is an exciting and rapidly evolving field of study. With physical inactivity considered a major risk factor for heart disease and other morbidities, activities of daily living, exercise and fitness have become essential elements of health and wellness. Not only has exercise been recognized as important in preventing diseases, it has also been acknowledged as essential “medicine” in treating various illnesses – heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, lung disease, Parkinson’s disease, and obesity, to name a few.

Located in the College of Science and Technology, the Exercise Science Program leads to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Exercise Science. Besides the core requirements, the Exercise Science Program is an interdisciplinary program based on the medical sciences. Required courses outside the department include those from the following programs: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics.

The Exercise Science Program focuses on the scientific and practical domains of exercise and physical activity ranging across the spectrum from healthy to patient populations. The versatility of our professional preparation readies students for careers in areas such as Cardiac Rehabilitation, Corporate Fitness, Personal Training, and Strength and Conditioning. Students must possess a solid science base and a complete knowledge of all the health-related and skill-related components of physical fitness with a complete understanding of the dimensions of wellness. The ability to coordinate theory and practical application is significant for the success of prescribed exercise programs.

Professional preparation in Exercise Science provides numerous opportunities depending upon the students’ interests, background, and preparation. Our students engage in a capstone internship experience as the culminating requirement of their undergraduate curriculum. This internship requirement has enabled our students to secure positions with such corporations as the Baltimore Ravens, Minnesota Vikings, Cornell University, University of South Florida, Wake Forest University, Geisinger Medical Center, Evangelical Hospital, and Verizon to name a few. Individual assessment and evaluation are essential elements for developing exercise prescriptions and program design within each designated specialty area. Students must be good role models of health and fitness with an enthusiastic and positive attitude for motivation and success.

Several of our graduates have continued their post-graduation studies in Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physician’s Assistant, Medicine, Clinical Athletic Training, and Chiropractic Medicine. Others have pursued Master’s Degrees and Doctoral Degrees in Exercise Science. Many of our students have started their own businesses in areas such as Strength and Conditioning, Athletic Performance, Corporate Fitness, and Coaching.

Exercise Science Program Vision Statement The Bloomsburg University Exercise Science Program provides a multidisciplinary, quality undergraduate education which lays a foundation for personal and professional growth, developing professionals with a strong understanding of the scientific concepts behind the applications they will practice in their chosen career path. Additionally, this program is committed to developing students who are critical thinkers and who will contribute and respond to current trends within their field of expertise.

Exercise Science Program Mission Statement The mission of the BU Exercise Science Program is to promote optimal health and well-being in the physically active population by providing educational opportunities to prepare qualified undergraduate students for a

professional career in Exercise Science. The Exercise Science Program is structured according to competencies and proficiency domains designated by the American College of Sports Medicine. We are committed to providing quality learning experience both in classroom and in the laboratory or practical setting. We have well equipped laboratory and teaching facilities supported by internship and educational research to provide these services.

The BU Exercise Science Program seeks to enhance student learning through a variety of interactive and problem-solving experiences that mandate the student demonstrate cognitive understanding of the health sciences, work with diverse individuals and populations, and perform specific skills and techniques. The development of competent Exercise Science professionals is based on a program of curricular experiences that require students to demonstrate and apply their knowledge, skills, and attributes in their internship as well as professional setting.

The purpose of this program is to prepare well-rounded students. Successful students will be able to design safe and effective exercise prescriptions, and conduct individual exercise programs, fitness testing, and health education for athletes, low to moderate risk individuals, individuals with controlled diseases, and individuals in special populations (i.e., pregnancy, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus). In addition, this program aims to produce students that are committed to academic excellence, are socially responsible, and have demonstrated cultural sensitivity.

We are committed to evaluating the Exercise Science Program regularly to ensure that our students are receiving the highest quality education possible. Furthermore, we are committed to staying abreast of the ongoing changes in our profession in order to keep our students current in our evolving field. Both the B.S (Exercise Science) and M.S (Exercise Science) programs are currently accredited through the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP), which is the largest programmatic accreditor in the health sciences field. Accreditation provides recognition for a high quality Exercise Science curriculum, resources, and faculty by measuring them against agreed-upon standards and evaluating that the program is meeting these standards on an annual basis.

Finally, the BU Exercise Science Program aspires to be a program of recognized excellence. We strive to establish this program as a leader in undergraduate Exercise Science professional preparation.
