Students planning to continue graduate work in exercise sciences/exercise physiology/biomechanics or chiropractic should follow this degree plan.
Note: Those wanting to enter a clinical graduate program must take BMS 307 and BMS 308 for the anatomy and physiology. Most clinical programs require sociology (SOC 150), medical terminology (LLT 102), lifespan development (CFD 155) or development psychology and ethics (PHI 115). MTH 181 (trigonometry) or MTH 138 (combination of college algebra and trig) is needed for PHY 123.
Good electives are KIN 499 Obesity Management and Comorbidites, PHI 513 Bioethics and BIO 197 Selected Topics in Biology CERT.
