Exercise Physiology Major

The rigorous Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology from Saint Joseph’s University focuses on courses that cover physiology, fitness, health and management while acquiring and applying communication, leadership, planning and organizational skills. You’ll learn about the structure, function and processes of the body and the multidimensional nature of wellness to design programs that help individuals maintain healthy lifestyles. You'll engage in hands-on learning through a required practicum and internship and research experiences, and you'll have the opportunity to get certified as an exercise physiologist or strength and conditioning specialist before you graduate.

The exercise physiology undergraduate program allows you to choose a traditional four-year curriculum or a three-year accelerated track. You can also choose specialty electives based on your area of interest or career goals, such as physical education, biology and chemistry.
