EXERCISE SCIENCE & SPORT STUDIES Program Overview
The Department of Exercise Science & Sport Studies is an undergraduate program serving more than 1,000 students who are working towards a Bachelor of Science degree in four distinct programs: three health-science options (Applied Kinesiology, Exercise Science, and Exercise Physiology) and one business-oriented option (Sports Management). The three health science options are laboratory based sciences providing students with a strong background in human anatomy and physiology. After two years of basic math and science (biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, statistics, computer science), upper level students study human physiology as it relates to exercise and physical activity via such courses as system physiology, exercise physiology, kinesiology, motor learning and movement experiences for disabled populations. Upon completion of the three undergraduate science programs, students are qualified for graduate programs in medicine, exercise physiology, physical and occupational therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, corporate fitness, athletic training, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, as well as most other health related professions. The three science programs have 500-600 students of whom approximately 20% classify themselves as pre-med, approximately 50% who are pre-PT or pre-OT, with the remainder equally distributed across the fields of exercise physiology, cardiac rehab, corporate fitness, nursing and physician assistant. All science-oriented students begin the major in Applied Kinesiology. Upon attaining a 2.85 GPA based on at least 12 credits of sciences within the major, students may apply for Exercise Science where the majority of students are interested in clinical medicine or Exercise Physiology where the primary interest of students involves research. The main difference between these two options, which overlap considerably, is that Exercise Science has five psychology related courses while Exercise Science has five courses which are research oriented and more quantitative. Sport Management provides students with an extensive background in business and management, beginning with the basic courses in economics, accounting, marketing and communications. Upper level students study the application of these basic business principles to a wide variety of sport settings via courses such as sport and law, risk management, organizational behavior in sport, sport sociology, sport psychology, sport marketing and management. Upon graduation, they enter careers in sport administration, sport marketing, facilities management, and commercial sport. The Sport Management program currently serves approximately 500-600 undergraduates. The department also sponsors two outreach programs: The Youth Sports Research Council and The Center for Exercise and Aging. The Sports Council provides adults who work with children in organized competitive sports programs with information about child development issues. Since 1983, the Sports Council has trained more than 200,000 volunteer youth sport coaches in New Jersey alone. The Center for Exercise and Aging provides information regarding exercise and aging to undergraduates, the general public and administrators of programs serving the needs of the elderly.

PROGRAM "Exercise Science” can be thought of as the study of the acute and chronic effects of exercise with regard to: beneficial health effects, developing fitness, rehabilitation from various disease states, training for competitive athletics, or injuries due to exercise or athletics. Professionals involved in Exercise Science include: exercise physiologists, physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists, and persons from various allied health fields such as cardiac/pulmonary rehabilitation, personal training, and fitness instruction. “Sport Studies” encompasses more directly applied facets of competitive athletics or organized sports, including the managerial or administrative aspects. Professionals associated with Sport Studies include: sport administrators, athletic directors, sport psychologists, sport nutritionists, coaches, sport attorneys and risk management experts, sports marketers, and facilities managers. Clearly, the two areas of Exercise Science and Sport Studies are closely related; persons such as sports medicine physicians, athletic trainers, and sport physical therapists function in various roles across the two areas. FACULTY The department faculty members represent a broad variety of specialties including: exercise physiology, environmental physiology, anatomy, sport psychology, motor learning, adaptive physical education, legal aspects of sport and sports management. In addition, because of Rutgers’ geographical location, there is access to a large number of professionals, such as sports medicine physicians, athletic trainers, coaches, and physical therapists, whose specialties are relevant to exercise science and sport studies. Each semester, individuals with highly respected credentials and expertise are recruited from outside the university to teach various specialized courses for this program and/or to act as supervisors for students’ senior year internships. Faculty members are involved with research and scholarly activities within their own area of specialization. This affords many of our majors the unique opportunity to do independent study or research under a faculty mentor.

CURRICULUM Students in this program can follow one of four options of study: “Applied Kinesiology” “Exercise Science,” “Exercise Physiology,” or “Sport Management”. The curriculum and coursework within this program can be described as comprehensive and rigorous. For example, in the Applied Kinesiology, Exercise Science and Exercise Physiology options, students are required to take a large number of courses from the basic sciences such as biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, and physiology, in addition to the various specialized courses pertaining to each specific option. In Sport Management, students are required to take a strong core of courses such as economics, accounting, marketing, and computer science. Students in all options are also required to complete an internship during their senior year. A complete description of the specific courses required for each option can be found on pages that follow. DEGREE-MAJOR The Department of Exercise Science and Sport Studies is housed administratively within the School of Arts and Sciences. Students from all of the undergraduate schools (SAS: School of Arts and Sciences, SEBS: School of Environmental and Biological Sciences & Mason Gross School of Arts) may major in Exercise Science and Sport Studies. The degree obtained is a B.S. degree with a major in
"EXERCISE SCIENCE AND SPORT STUDIES." For graduation, students must complete all of the requirements for this academic major, as well as the requirements of their respective college. College requirements, in terms of specific courses, total hours, etc., differ among the various units. Students should consult with their college as to the exact requirements for graduation. It is the responsibility of the student to meet the requirements of both their academic major and the school in which they are enrolled. This program only advises students and certifies that they have completed the requirements for the "academic major." (The exception is that all SEBS students have access to a “SEBS Advisor” within the Department of Exercise Science and Sport Studies.) It is the responsibility of the individual schools to advise students on "school" requirements, and to certify that students have fulfilled the "school" requirements for graduation. ESSS MAJORS CLUB The purpose of the club is to create a student support system open to all students majoring in or intending to major in Exercise Science and Sport Studies, informing them of the options within the field of Exercise Science through peer mentoring, professional networking and various educational opportunities. For a current club contact person, please call the departmental main office at (732) 932-9525.

PROGRAM OPTIONS Within the Exercise Science and Sport Studies major, there are four distinct options for students. The four options offered are: APPLIED KINESIOLOGY Applied Kinesiology is essentially identical to Exercise Science excluding the 3 labs (Exercise Physiology’s, Systems Physiology Lab and Exercise Testing & Prescription) and with 3 additional 377 elective credits at the junior 300+ level or senior 400+ levels. EXERCISE SCIENCE The Exercise Science Option provides the student with a strong science foundation focusing on human anatomy and physiology, with an emphasis on preparation for further specialized graduate study or direct entrance into the job market. The rigor and broad science base of this option make it appropriate for students who wish to go into medicine or physical therapy. EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY The Exercise Physiology Option also provides students with a strong science foundation emphasizing preparation for further specialized graduate study or direct entrance into a variety of fields related to exercise physiology, biomechanics, sport medicine and direct entrance to upper level certifications in the rehabilitation and fitness industries. SPORT MANAGEMENT The Sport Management Option is designed to meet the needs of the popular and growing interest in the management of sport facilities and programs. Graduates may choose to pursue an advanced degree or to enter the profession in one of the many dimensions of sport organizations and high school, collegiate and/or professional sport programs. ATHLETIC TRAINING Athletic Training is a rapidly growing and challenging profession. Employment potential for athletic trainers is widespread, both at the high school and college levels. Rutgers does not have a formal program or an academic major in athletic training. Students interested in athletic training should contact Mr. Mike Pawlusiak, Athletic Trainer, at the Hale Center on the Busch Campus (732-445-8420) early in their undergraduate education. A limited number of opportunities for assistants to the athletic training professional staff are available.

ENTRY INTO EXERCISE SCIENCE AND SPORT STUDIES Entrance into the Exercise Science and Sport Studies major is through either the Applied Kinesiology Option or the Sport Management Option. Students entering through either of these two options must have a 2.0 GPA both overall and in a minimum of three courses in the major. This requirement may be waived FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS if they have had a strong academic record at their previous academic institution. In addition, all students must receive approval to declare the major from the department chair at an orientation session. After declaring the major, students in the Applied Kinesiology Option may apply for either the Exercise Science Option or the Exercise Physiology Option if they have completed a minimum of 12 credits of the major requirements and have a major GPA of at least 2.85 with 89 credits or less overall (i.e., junior status or less) or a 3.00 major GPA after completing 90 credits or more overall (the definition of a senior). Should students in either Exercise Science or Exercise Physiology fall below the minimum GPA, they will automatically be reclassified into the Applied Kinesiology Option. Multiple orientation meetings for declaring the major will be scheduled during the month of October prior to the November pre-registration time period, and during February/March prior to the April pre-registration period. Students must register for one of these orientations at the Exercise Science Office and bring to the orientation a declaration of major form from the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) or the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS). The purpose of these small group orientations is several-fold. First, the appropriateness of this major for students’ self-described career goals will be evaluated. Second, students will be assigned a departmental academic advisor. Third, each student will begin the preparation of an individualized curriculum program (i.e., a semester-by-semester sequence of courses) which will subsequently be taken to their academic advisor for approval. Fourth, a departmental student file will be initiated containing the individual student’s personal contact information and their selected option within the major. Fifth, the student’s declaration of major form will be signed by the chair so that it can be returned by the student to their appropriate dean’s office.

DEPARTMENTAL ADVISING SYSTEM All majors are assigned an academic advisor at the time they are admitted into the program. A major function of the advisor is to work with the student in designing their curriculum, so they not only complete the requirements of the program but also maximize the worth of their undergraduate education. Another major purpose of an academic advisor is to give students counsel with respect to their intended career directions. A student's academic advisor within the department is responsible for certifying only that the student has met all of the academic major requirements. Departmental academic advisors are not familiar with, nor do they advise students on their respective "school" graduation requirements. (The exception is that all SEBS {formerly Cook College} students have access to a “SEBS Advisor” within the Department of Exercise Science and Sport Studies.) All departmental advisors are readily accessible to students during posted office hours and/or by pre-arranged appointment. TRANSFER CREDIT FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS The major features of the transfer credit policy are that: a. the course must be equivalent in content and credit to a course at Rutgers b. a grade of "C" or better must be obtained c. transfer credit course grades are not used to compute a student's cumulative or major grade point average Course "equivalency" is usually determined after admission to Rutgers. Students from community colleges in New Jersey can determine which courses transfer to Rutgers University, prior to admission, by referring to the webpage www.NJTransfer.org. For majors in Exercise Science and Sport Studies, this department will evaluate and approve only "377" courses. We do not evaluate transfer courses in the areas of biology, math, business, etc. Those evaluations must be done by the departments offering those courses. Students wishing to take courses at other colleges or universities over the summer should check with the appropriate department to determine if a course is equivalent, and the credit transferable, before it is taken. Students should consult the university catalog for the general policy and regulations within their specific school pertaining to transfer credit for courses taken elsewhere.
9
INTERNSHIPS All students enrolled in the Exercise Science and Sport Studies major must complete an internship during their senior year. The internship experience provides the student with the opportunity to practice and/or apply knowledge and skills in various professional environments. Students must satisfy the following criteria: 1. complete a minimum of 90 credits with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 2. complete a minimum of 20 credits in the major with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 for all required courses listed for the major 3. meet all deadlines for submission of application, contracts and evaluations Internship information for students is available from the main office of Exercise Science and Sport Studies. This information outlines the eligibility criteria that must be met and the procedures that must be followed to design and complete an internship. The internship may be undertaken during either academic semester or during the summer. The departmental Internship Program Director will evaluate all the necessary paper work connected with the internship, provide appropriate program information to the intern and supervisor, and assign the final evaluation. A mandatory orientation meeting is held every semester (the first Wednesday of October and the first Wednesday of February) for students planning to do an internship for the next semester. Look for posting on the departmental bulletin board and web pages for exact time, date and location. DIRECTORY OF INTERNSHIP SITES Majors are free to identify and select an internship site of their choice. To assist students in their selection after they have been notified that they have permission, a database listing of over 130 internship sites has been assembled. This database lists various sites which either have had Rutgers Exercise Science and Sport Studies interns before and/or have expressed an interest in supporting internships. This list is available on the department’s web page located at http://www.exsci.rutgers.edu. There is also a series of internship directories available in the office.
10
DEPARTMENTAL HONORS There are at 3 categories of honors in Exercise Science. They are: Honors, High Honors or Highest Honors. The criteria include both academic performance as evidenced by the student’s major GPA within their chosen option1 and research component fulfilled via the department’s Honors Research Program which include two courses. Honors Research Seminar (01:377:480 - 3 credits) which students take in the Spring of their junior year and Honors Research in Exercise Science (01:377:481 B 3 credits) which students take during their senior year. HONORS CRITERIA: Honors: EITHER a 3.600 Major GPA OR a 3.400 Major GPA + Honors
Research Seminar + Honors Research High Honors EITHER a 3.800 Major GPA OR a 3.600 Major GPA + Honors
Research Seminar + Honors Research Highest Honors 3.800 Major GPA + Honors Research Seminar + Honors Research HONORS RESEARCH PROGRAM: To qualify for the Departmental Honors Research Program, a student must have attained by the end of the first term of their junior year a cumulative overall grade-point average of at least 3.40 and a grade-point average of at least 3.40 in courses in the option they have selected within the major. By the end of the first term of the junior year, the student must formally apply to the director of the Honors Research Program for admittance to the Honors Research Program. Accepted candidates must complete the Honors Research Seminar (01:377:480) during the spring term of their junior year when, under the guidance of the seminar instructor, an honors research project is designed and developed. During the fall term of their senior year, each student approved by the instructor must register for 01:377:481, Honors Research in Exercise Science, be assigned to an individual faculty member, and carry out the research project originally designed in the Honors Research Seminar. Both terms must be successfully completed and the minimum honors grade-point average must be maintained for a student to receive departmental honors recognition.

*Cannot have 377:323 and 377:319 for graduation credit. **Cannot be used by Exercise Physiology Option as an elective because 377:319 is a required course in that option. The courses listed on these pages have been judged as acceptable electives for the Exercise Science and Exercise Physiology Options within the Exercise Science and Sport Studies major. They are NOT acceptable for the Sport Management Option. A GRADE OF C OR BETTER is required for all non-377 courses to be acceptable. Four credit courses such as Organic Chemistry or Genetics can fulfill only 3 credits of the 377 major elective credits, although the 4 credits will count in your GPA and will count for graduation. ONLY 3 CREDITS of non-377 courses can be used to fulfill the elective requirements for the major. If you have any questions concerning the eligibility of a course for elective credit, you must check with an academic adviser within the department before registering for any course you wish to use as elective credits within the major. Check represents a recommendation only. All courses can be used as electives in all science tracks but not necessarily the Sport Management track. Note: All electives taken in departments other than the Department of Exercise Science and Sport Studies must have prior written approval and have a grade of “C” or better regardless of whether or not the course is listed on this page. Permission forms are available from departmental advisors.

PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS The program strongly encourages its majors to become active in one or more of the professional organizations appropriate for their career direction. Activity within a professional organization, (e.g. attending its meetings, participating in seminars sponsored by professional groups) can be extremely beneficial in terms of expanding one's knowledge, meeting professionals from outside of Rutgers, and learning of job/graduate school opportunities. Below is a list of various organizations and the contact person/number. Most groups, but not all, have a "student membership" category which means that a student can derive the benefits from belonging to an appropriate professional organization at a relatively low or nominal membership cost.
