Your guide from application through admission is your Enrollment Services Advisor. Every student is assigned a dedicated Enrollment Services Advisor that can answer questions, provide guidance, and help navigate your unique educational needs.

A bachelor’s degree from a regionally or nationally accredited college/university in a related field such as Exercise Science, Exercise Physiology, Kinesiology, or similar is required. If a student has a bachelor’s degree in an unrelated field and would like to apply for the program, they must:
- Show evidence that the following courses were taken and passed: Anatomy and Physiology and Exercise Physiology.

- Have previously earned a CSCS (National Strength and Conditioning Association) or ACSM-EP (American College of Sports Medicine) certification. (Completion of these certifications does not guarantee acceptance, although they can be used to strengthen an application.)
