- BIOL 20 or BIOL 1A ; and CHEM 1A and CHEM 1AL or CHEM 3A with a C grade or better will meet the Major Electives Requirement and prerequistes for BIOL 67A

- Students interested in the athletic training option should consult the department regarding criteria for selection into this program.
- A grade of C or higher in all required coursework is necessary for successful completion of the major. Any course required as a prerequisite must be completed with a grade of C or better before registration in the subsequent course.
- Lower-division courses taken at other institutions may be accepted as being equivalent to lower-division requirements in the department. Petitions to have courses accepted should be completed during the first semester in the major.
- The Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science complies with university policy regarding the re-taking of courses. Exercise Science students who fail a course (D or F) in the Kinesiology core may retake the class for a second time. If they earn a failing grade (D or F) a second time, they will not be allowed to petition to repeat the course for a third time. These students will not be able to complete the Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science requirements and will be required to declare a new major.
