CONCENTRATION AREAS Clinical Exercise PhysiologyPROGRAM ADMISSION In addition to the University requirements for admission to the Graduate School at ULM, all applicants must present a combined score of 2200 on a scale which is found by multiplying their total undergraduate grade-point average by the combined Graduate Record Examination General Test score (Verbal plus Quantitative) in order to qualify for “Regular Status.’’ Students scoring between 2100 and 2199 (GRE X GPA) may be admitted on “Conditional Status.’’ PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS Undergraduate requirements for a major: 24 semester hours from exercise science/kinesiology related courses including at least 3 semester hours from each of the following areas: exercise physiology, anatomical/biomechanical kinesiology, athletic injuries, biology/zoology, and chemistry. The student may not enroll in more than 12 graduate hours until all undergraduate prerequisites are met. CONCENTRATION AREAS AND DEGREE REQUIREMENTS Concentration areas in Exercise Science are Clinical Exercise Physiology and Applied Exercise Physiology. A student’s plan of study must be approved by the major professor and graduate advisory committee. Requirements for the Master of Science in Exercise Science (Clinical Exercise Physiology) 36 semester hours in the area of exercise science including EXSC 504, 505, 507, 510, 512, 524, 530, 538, 539, 527 and 6 hours of internship (EXSC 595) in a facility with a clinical population, thesis (EXSC 599) or a combination of both. This concentration area covers the knowledge, skills and abilities expected for American College of Sports Medicine certification at the Exercise Specialist level. Requirements for the Master of Science in Exercise Science (Applied Exercise Physiology) 36 semester hours in the area of exercise science including EXSC 504, 505, 507, 510, 512, 524, 530, 538, 539, 527, and 6 hours of internship (EXSC 595), thesis (EXSC 599) or a combination of both. MINOR REQUIREMENTS Undergraduate course prerequisites for a graduate minor: 18 semester hours of exercise science/kinesiology related courses. Course requirements for a graduate minor: 12 semester hours of Exercise Science, including EXSC 504, 505, 530, and 510. CAAHEP PROGRAM ACCREDITATION The Master of Science Degree in Exercise Science at ULM has been endorsed by CAAHEP at the Clinical Exercise Physiology level. Students completing the Clinical Exercise Physiology concentration will take the ACSM Exercise Specialist Exam as their exit exam.
